Exporting your Email Contacts/Address Book

If a student wants to export their Address Book and the email contacts it contains they are able to do this from  student email from within the URSA portal.   First, log into the URSA portal at http://ursa.unco.edu

Then access your email by clicking the email icon in the upper right corner of the screen.  Then select the
Address Book tab as indicated below by the red circle.

Next select the Import/Export button:

This will get you to the Import/Export screen - for this example we will export to a Microsoft Outlook format.

When the "Export Now" button is selected the file download screen below will open.  As can be seen the data will be exported to a Microsoft Office Excel spreadsheet with Comma Separated Values named CPAddressBook.csv by default. 

By selecting "Save" another window will open prompting what to name the file, and where to put it.

Opening this file with MS Excel or even a text editor like WordPad will show the data and also please note that there will most likely be a lot of empty fields that are not used.   This file can be imported directly into an email application like Outlook Express. 

Here is another trick to get your email address book information in a text file.
