How to export all contacts from Outlook 2007 as vcard?

Question

Is there a way to save all my Outook 2007 contacts as vcards?

There is no option under menu File > Import and Export...

One can export each contact one by one by selecting the contact and choosing "Save As..." vcard. But that's not what I want. I am looking for a bulk operation.

Answer 1

Tested solution:

1. press ctrl+a to select all contacts
2. drag and drop to the folder where you want the vcards to be saved.

that's all.

Answer 2

1. Follow the Help instructions in Outlook to export your Contacts as a CSV file
2. Copy this file to a computer that has Windows Contacts (e.g. Windows 7 or XP I think)
3. Follow the Help instructions in Windows 7 / XP to import Contacts (from a CSV file)
4. Follow the Help instructions in Windows 7 / XP to export Contacts (in vCard format)

Answer 3

It's a bit of a hack but it works:

• First select all your contact (ctrl+A)
• Right-click and select "Send as Business Card" (this will create a new email for you with all vcf cards attached. This can take a long time, be patient!
• In the new email select all the attachement (ctrl+A in the "Attached" field)
• Drag and drop the attachements on a fold on your computer... Et voilà!

Bonus tip: you can consolidate your vcf files into a single file (for gmail import for example). Just start a command prompt, go into the folder that contains you new vcards and type: COPY *.vcf MyNewFIle.vcf
