Hi,
I have all my contacts on a PST file from outllok on my PC and woud like to transfer them to my mac. How do I do this or do I have to export my contacts on a different file format (vcard, csv, etc)?

Thanks,

mario

I have personally had to deal with this on several occassions. The only good way I have found is to install Mozilla Thunderbird on the PC. When you launch it, it can import your Outlook Contacts. Then you can save the contacts from Thunderbird to an ldif file and import them to your Address Book.

All other methods that I have tried only loose more information. As for exporting each card out and importing each card individually.... Well, that would probably work, but involve perhaps a lot of work.

There are some programs out there that supposedly can do this for you. But I have never used one that worked as well as just using Mozilla Thunderbird.
