You can move your contacts across applications without having to create all the contacts manually. For example, you can export contacts from Microsoft Outlook and import them into Convergence without having to create contacts manually.
Convergence can import CSV and vCard 3.0. Depending on how your system is set up, Convergence may also be able to import LDIF and vCard 2.1. Ask your system administrator which additional formats are supported.
This procedure assumes you have already exported your contacts from another application into a file type supported by Convergence.
