Importing Email Addresses

Virtually every major email system (Yahoo, Google, and Hotmail) can export email addresses (Contacts) to an Outlook CSV format. CaringMeals can now import Outlook CSV files, so you can save typing and quickly invite all your Friends to bring meals!

Here are the steps:

1. Export your Contacts to an Outlook CSV file. When prompted to save the file, choose your "My Documents" or "Documents" folder.
   
   Here are examples from the 3 major email providers:
   
   • Gmail
     
     
     
     • Click Contacts | Export
     
     
     • Select Outlook CSV and click "Export"
       
     
     
     
     
   
   
   • Yahoo
     
     
     
     • Open your Contact List and select Export
       
     
     
     • Click Export Now next to "Microsoft Outlook"
       
     
     
     
     
   
   
   • Hotmail
     Open your Contacts and Click Manage | Export
   
   
   • For other email systems, look for an "Export" function, and select "Outlook CSV" when asked for the format to export. If you have questions, please check with your email provider.
