    Hello I am using Office 2016 and wants to import contacts in CSV file to Outlook Web App. Can this be done? I have a user who just has access to an Outlook Web App for email and they want to import an CSV file of email addresses (less than 500) into their contacts? Thanks

    Hello kerry
    Import contacts in CSV file to Outlook Web App:-

    1. At the top of your Outlook 2013 or 2016 ribbon, choose File.
    2. Choose Open & Export > Import/Export.
    3. Choose Import from another program or file, and then choose Next.
    4. Choose Comma Separated Values, and then choose Next.
    5. In the Import a File box, browse to your contacts file, and then double-click to select it.
    6. Choose one of the following to specify how you want Outlook to handle duplicate contacts:

    a. Replace duplicates with items imported If a contact is already in Outlook and your contacts file, Outlook discards the info it has for that contact and uses the info from your contacts file. You should choose this option if the contact info in your contacts file is more complete or more current than the contact info in Outlook.

    b. Allow duplicates to be created If a contact is in Outlook and your contacts file, Outlook creates duplicate contacts, one with the original Outlook info and one with the info imported from your contacts file. You can combine info for those people later to eliminate duplicate contacts. This is the default option.

    c. Do not import duplicate items If a contact is in Outlook and your contacts file, Outlook keeps the info it has for that contact and discards the info from your contacts file. You should choose this option if the contact info in Outlook is more complete or more current than the info in your contacts file.

    7. Click Next.

    8. In the Select a destination folder box, scroll to the top if needed and select the Contacts folder > Next. If you have multiple email accounts, choose the Contacts folder that’s under the email account you want to be associated with the contacts.

    9. Choose Finish.

    10. To see your contacts, at the bottom of Outlook, choose the People icon.
