I want to export my addresses from my @home email account
Background
When you first start using your @home email it is likely that you will want to import all of your email addresses that you had maintained with your previous email account. As long as your previous email provider provides some export facility in comma separated value (CSV) format this will be possible.
Periodically you may also wish to export your address book. This could be for backup reasons or in the case where you are leaving the @home email service. @home allows you to export in formats compatible with several different email clients or webmail accounts.
Solution
Importing to @home
If you want to import your address book you will first have to export it from your other email account, saving it as a CSV file.
Login to your @home email account.
Click on Address Book.
Select Import/Export Address Book from the top right.
If you want to import, select the email client or type of email that you were using.
You now need to use the Browse button to navigate to where you have saved the CSV file.
Once you have done this click on Import. You will receive a message once the import process is complete. Note that you may get an error message saying some data was missing if you had not maintained all fields in the address book.
Exporting from @home
To export your Address book from @home you must specify which program you want to export to eg. Outlook. If you do not know which to select, use the Webmail option as this will give you a generic CSV file format.
Click Export and specify where you would like to save the file.
