How do I import contacts to Outlook Web Version?

[Guest]

I have all of my contacts on the desktop version of Outlook. This is a
personal program. Through work, I use OWA. I want to get my contacts into
the OWA. How do I do this? There is no import feature on OWA that I can
find...

Is work running Exchange 2003 and is your desktop at home Windows XP +
Outlook 2003? The reason that I ask is that if work offers the ability to
connect via RPC over HTTPs, you can get you contacts loaded into the
contacts folder (only way since OWA doesn't offer an import/export routine).

That's right - but if you can at least once use Outlook at work to access
the mailbox, and have the items in a PST file, etc., you can import them.
You can't import via OWA.

Can you explain this in more detail please. I have the exact same issue and
setup as you mentioned.

Here is a quick little tutorial on how to configure an Outlook profile for
the connection type I describe. Please keep in mind that there a lot of
requirements to make this work.

1) Client side (you) - Need to be at Windows XP (SP1) + patch 331320 or
Windows XP (SP2) with Outlook 2003

2) Server side (work) - Needs to have Windows 2003 (Active Directory),
Exchange 2003 on Windows 2003, and have it configured to accept the
connection. (Key thing, check with work and ask if they are allowing this
type of connection.)
