Importing contacts to Public Folders
I need to import contacts from different people's mailboxes to Public
Folders. I've tried exporting them to .pst files and imporing them to Pulibc Folders. I got "Items cannot be created in the root of public folders" message. Since there are quite a few contact lists to import, it is a pain to copy and paste individual contacts. Any tools or suggestions?

Importing contacts to Public Folders
One of our products may be of interest to you which enable you to import to
any contact folder in your Outlook profile (you will need to have the other's people's mailboxes set up as delegate accounts in your profile). Feature comparison for import products can be viewed he http://www.contactgenie.com/cg20features.htm However, if you want to just copy all of the contacts - our ContactGenie-MessageClassModifier product (CG-MCM which is free) also has "copy" and "move" functions enabling you to copy/move contacts from one Outlook folder to another (http://www.contactgenie.com/cgtmcm.htm) which sounds like it may be a better solution for you then "importing".

Importing contacts to Public Folders
All you need to do is drag the items from the folder in the .pst file to the folder under Public Folders.

Importing contacts to Public Folders
Sue, one thing that we have seen when doing the "drag 'n drop" process
within Outlook on very large contact folders is endless messages about memory (or lack thereof) or variations thereof when some addons are in play which can make this a very tedious process (and we weren't using "minimal config" systems in these scenarios). For smaller folders - this process works like a charm. Just mentioning this as a FYI.

Importing contacts to Public Folders
Karl/ Sue I have also often found that you just can't drag many at a time
from Contacts to Public Contacts. If you grab small chunks it works OK. -- Judy Gleeson - MVP Outlook Acorn Training and Consulting Canberra, Australia www.acorntraining.com.au When you post in here, always include your version, SP level, and mode (if applicable) of Outlook - you can find this information in Help | About. Also include the type of mail account(s) you use and any other pertinent details. Be sure to put a concise summary of your question in the subject line, and the full details in the body of your post.
