Can you Export MS Outlook contacts in Kontact?

Is there anyway of exporting all the contacts from M$ outlook in to Kontact

Yes, you need to export them as either vCard, or a Comma Separated list ( CSV ). KMail/Kontact can import these easily, and I think Outlook can export in these formats. KMail/Kontact also support MS Exchange Personal Address Book format ( PAB ) as well.

Cool, thx mate. I know how to export contacts from outlook, how do I then get all my contacts into Kontact (lol)?

Click on Contacts and select the menu entry File->Import->Import vCard... or
File->Import->Import CSV List... etc.

PS I notice you're using KDE3.4, any good? didn't know it was out!

3.4 is in Alpha, and is closing in on Beta, Its working quite well. Some annoyances ( Delete option moving ) and occasional bugs, but its pretty stable already, some fine new stuff and abilities. Release is set for March 16th

Thx again
