Migrate Contacts and Calendars to Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 logo

When you sign up for your Microsoft 365 (Formerly Office 365) subscription, your existing contacts, and calendars will have to be imported from your current email client. If you are using one of the webmail clients that HostGator offers, the steps below will walk you through how to export them and then how to import them into Microsoft 365.

Exporting from Roundcube

Contacts

Roundcube address books are exported as a .vcf file. However, Microsoft 365 does not support the import of .vcf files. So, you will have to convert them to a .csv file once you export them.

  1. Login to the Roundcube webmail client.
  2. Select Contacts on the top right-hand side.

  3. Click on the down arrow next to Export.

  4. Select Export All from the drop-down.
