There appears to be no direct way to do it from the VZ webmail interface.. I found this on ehow: "Some email programs, like Gmail, have an "Import contacts" button that leads you to a screen where you will input your Verizon email address and password. Gmail itself will search your Verizon email account and import all of your contacts to your new email account. If your new email account has a function like this, it becomes a one-step process."

Does the version of outlook you are working with have this feature.

When I swithced to Zohomail only had 50 so I just did it manually (I printed all my contacts to a MicroSoft XPS document the used it ...

Kevin99 is spot on see next post!

Well, so far I've found you can IMPORT contacts to the Verizon Webmail, but only way to export it is to select all and "print to file"  That produces a file that nothing seems to be able to open or import (ie word, excel, IE).

Outlook has several Import options, but none that would connect to web server

I believe the "print to file" creates a print file for your printer.  Which enables you to print at a later time.  And reprint without the source document.   Haven't used that function in a long time so all printers may not work as I remember.

Outlook's import function doesn't let me connect to Verizon... hence i cannot Impor t my files..... Is this a flaw in Verizon o r Outlook?  **bleep** seems like someone need to fix this issue.

There is no real way to do what you want to do.  

The closest would probably be to select the print option and print to a PDF.  You can then open the pdf file and select save as other, select text.  

Then use a spreadsheet program such as excel and open the txt file and select delimited by space.  Delete the bits you don't want and save as a comma separated CSV.

Outlook will allow you to import a csv file.
