Open Outlook and navigate to File > Open and click “Import”. In Outlook 2007 and 2003, go to File > Import and Export.
Select the “Import from another program or file” option and click “Next”.
Select “Coma Separated Values” and navigate to the folder on your PC which contains the CSV file.
If your Outlook is in English, just click “Finish” and you are all set! If it is NOT in English please proceed to the step below.
Before you click “Finish” to import all of the contacts contained within the CSV file to Outlook, you’ll need to map the custom fields first. Otherwise some contact details will not be imported to Outlook.
To map custom fields click on the “Map Custom Fields…” button.
Next, drag the values from the source file (*.csv file) on the left to the matching field on the right. You can verify the map custom fields in navigating with “Next >” and “< Previous". Once you make sure all columns from the CSV file are mapped to the desired Outlook address book fields, click "OK" and finally click "Finish". Now, all of the contacts contained within the CSV file are successfully imported to Outlook.
