Episode 9: Importing address book and Calendar – The Plaxo way

leave a comment »

One of the key issues in moving to a new computer and OS is how to import contacts from Outlook information to Apple Mail and Address book. A simple neat way of doing that is to use Plaxo.

Plaxo had its share of bad reviews in the past, mainly due to their annoying update emails. However the ability to sync calendar and contacts is very appealing in my opinion.

I chose to do the following:

1. Install Plaxo plug-in on my Outlook.

2. Install Plaxo on my Mac

3. Sync my Outlook contacts with Plaxo

4. Sync my Mac using Plaxo

That’s it. all my contacts are in my Mac, without touching anything else. More to it – I know that all my application are always up to date. any change I am doing in any of the computers is synced to the other.
