Migrate Contacts and Calendars to Microsoft 365

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. Log in 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.

   

5. Once you convert the VCF to a CSV file, you can follow the steps below for Importing contacts to Microsoft 365.

Calendar

1. Log in to the Roundcube webmail client.
2. Select Calendar on the upper-right side.

   

3. Click on Export on the upper-left side.

   

4. Select the calendar and the event(s) that you are exporting. You can also choose to export the attachments of your events.

   

5. Click on the Export button. Your calendar will be exported as a .ics file.
