Hi,

I create some folders of type contacts. I place some as sub folders to
CONTACTS folder and some under MAILBOX. Now, i want to import contacts into
a particular folder, but everytime i do that, all contacts get imported into
the main CONTACTS folder under mailbox. Please advise.
 
Sorry. my bad.
1. Outlook 2007.
2. contacts as .vcf files in a folder copied over from phone memory cards.
3. File-->Import export--> import a VCARD file ( .vcf) -->choose the folder
and select all .vcf
thanks for your help.

Outlook does not support importing multiple VCF cards. Accordingly, there is
no reason to use import for a single VCF card. Just drag it to the folder in
which you want it to reside.

actually i am trying to copy lots of vcf cards ( hundreds) into a
different contact folder. but i am not able to copy( the paste option is
disabled). alternatively when i try to import the vcf cards, i do not get
an option for an import folder destination.

thanks,

Repeating. Since you can only import one VCF file at a time, there is no
reason to use import at all. Just drag the VCF file to the folder where you
want it to reside. That way you circumvent the limitation on only being able
to import to your default folder.

able to copy to other folders. is it the same?
