- From the Address Book menu, click Import/Export Contacts.
- In the CSV File field, click Browse.
- Locate and open the .csv file.

NOTE: Listed in the CSV Columns are fields in the file you are importing. Listed in the Address Book Columns are fields from the Web-Based Email address book. Web-Based Email matches the fields in both columns, but you can override the mapping suggestions.
- If you want to change mapped options under Address Book Columns, select different values from the lists.
- To add fields that are in the CSV file but not in the Address Book, select The CSV column listed above contains data I would like to import.
