Export/Import Outlook 2010 Contacts - PST Fails
Hello,
I am trying to export the contacts from Outlook 2010 on one computer, on one e-mail account, and import them onto another computer, with another e-mail account.
Problem #1 - When trying to export using PST, it fails "unable to export data. access is denied". However, if you try to import the failed PST, it did export seven or eight entries before 'failing'
Problem #2 - When trying to export to CSV/Excel/Tab Delimited, all of the previous 'exchange' contacts' e-mail accounts get exported using the EX EmailType instead of SMTP, and those e-mail addresses appear as follows: "/o=First Organization/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recip
Problem #3 - Although the 'exchange' contacts' email address doesn't get exported properly, the 'external' contacts that the user had, did export the e-mail addresses properly. However, upon import back into Outlook 2010, it imports the contacts' e-mail address as follows: ex. "Email Address: Mr. FirstName LastName@555-555-5555" displaying their e-mail address as their full display name including the FAX number??
Any help with any of these problems, would be greatly appreciated!

Try just sharing the user's contact list that you are trying to export. Right click their contacts and select either Share Contacts, or select Folder Permissions and give the user that you want to import to full Permissions. Then they can just copy and paste them into their contacts.

The user account we are trying to export from is in a completely different domain than where we are trying to import.
Ensure all the updates are installed for Outlook 2010.
Are you following the same procedure mentioned here..?
Incase if .pst fails, try Csv format.

Instead of exporting to PST files, open a new pst files and copy/past contactsto the new pst files.
Try exporting the contacts then as a CSV or PST, and give Everyone full permissions on the export. Then when you import just change the permissions at that time.

I can export to a CSV just fine, however, during import into Outlook 2010 of that CSV file, the contacts e-mail address changes to the following example:
Prefix (Mr. Mrs. Ms.) FirstName LastName@Fax Number
Mr. John Doe@555-555-5555
This is where the major problem comes in....

Mr. John Doe@555-555-5555
