How to export contacts from your phone to Outlook using Bitpim
This was a difficult one to figure out.
In Bitpim
The phone should be manually changed from "other CDMA phone" to the VX8700, then do the following: File> Export> CSV Contacts> All(# of contacts)> OK
In Outlook
File> Import and Export> Import from another program or file> Next> Comma Separated Values (Windows)*> Next> browse> select bitpim.csv file> Next> Highlight “contacts” and click Next> Check the “import bitpim.csv into folder: contacts” box.
When you do this a window will pop up which allows you to map custom fields. This is the tricky part. On the Left you have the Bitpim file and on the right you cave the Outlook file. To align everything properly, you need to drag the correct value from the bitpim.csv file and drop it into the correct field in Outlook. Here are some helpful hints but it all depends on what data you have in your phone.
Bitpim.csv Outlook field
Names_full Name
Names_first First Name
Names_last Last Name
Numbers_number Mobile Phone
Emails_emial Email Address
When you are done mapping your contacts into the correct fields, click OK to go pack to the main window where you click finish to complete the import.
*Note: If the CSV (window) format doesn’t work completely, follow the same process with the CSV (DOS) format and it should work fine. |
