Import contacts from a CSV file

Importing a CSV file is the quickest way to add multiple contacts to your email account at once.

1. In your webmail, go to the upper-left corner, and click the app switcher (the envelope icon).

   
    

2. Select Contacts.

   
    

3. Click Import contacts in the upper-right corner.

   
    

4. In the Import contacts window, click Select CSV file, then choose the CSV file from your computer.

   Tip: Before you import, compare your file with the sample CSV file in the Import contacts window to make sure your column headers match.

   
    

5. Confirm the correct file name appears, then click Import contacts.

   
    

6. Wait for the confirmation message, which shows how many contacts were imported.

   
    

   Success: A message such as 3 contacts imported successfully confirms the import. Your imported contacts now appear in My Contacts.

Tips and troubleshooting

• The import doesn't work or contacts look wrong. Compare your file with the sample CSV file in the Import contacts window. Make sure your column headers match, and that the file is saved in CSV format rather than as an Excel workbook.
• Contacts went to the wrong account. Each email account has its own contacts. Check the Account selector on the Contacts page before you import.
• You need a copy of your contacts. Use Export contacts in the lower-left corner of the Contacts page to download your contacts as a backup.

Summary

Importing contacts from a CSV file lets you bring your existing contacts into Bluehost Professional Email in a few clicks. Open Contacts from the app switcher, click Import contacts, select your CSV file, and import it. Your contacts then appear in My Contacts and as suggestions when you compose an email.
