Yes! From the Contacts section, select the contacts folder you want to save and click the "More" drop down and select "Export" and you can export to an Excel file.

Good Day.

Which version of Outlook are you using on your new computer? If your contacts are currently stored on Bell webmail, please follow these instruction:

  1. Login: To your Bell webmail email account.
  2. Select > Contacts.
  3. Select > Contact folder.
  4. Select > More.
  5. Select > Export & then choose: Yes
  6. Enter a file name & select > CSV
  7. Select > Submit

Your contacts will download as a .csv file into your computer download folder. Choose this file to import into Micrsoft Outlook.

Open & follow the instruction as shown in the weblink that I have included. Select the version of Outlook that you are using on your new computer: New Outlook, New Outlook (Insiders) Classic Outlook or Web Outlook.

I'm trying to export my contacts from bell.net but no where do I see anything to do with contacts. I can't even list them.

Good Day.

To Import or Export your contacts, login to to your webmail on a computer with any web browser. Select > Contacts. Select > Address book. Select >  All of the Contacts in your Address book or selectively choose the contacts you wish to either Export as a vCard or CSV.

Groups, address books & contacts are set up & similar to working with Microsoft File Explorer folders & files.

Open up your webmail. How are your contacts listed and saved? Did you save them under a Main group? Did you set up subgroups, (Address books), or subgroups below another subgroup. A Main Group can include address books with contacts or contacts without a subgroup. Address books can also have subgroups that also are address book groups.. In any case, select the location wherever the contacts are stored. E.g. Main or any other folder, etc. On the right side of the page, you will se an empty square box to the left of the Main, Folder, subfolder (address book) name. Check this empty box. This will highlight all of your contacts that are in that Group, Subgroup, address book, etc.

Select > More. Scroll down & Select > Print contact. This will open your Windows print window. Choose your printer & print settings.

Take care.

Thank you for your question. Which version of Outlook are you using? There are four separate, individual versions of Outlook. You can find a good support article from Microsoft on moving contacts in each version here  .
