    You should be be able to write your own adapter to plug into the existing framework (think you can have 1 additional adapter in the free version). Or, if you can export your contacts to a csv or xml format, then it should work oob.

    Funny, I've just answered the same question on twitter. and indeed it's possible. Export your outlook members as csv and you can import that file using umbImport. As Dirk mentioned it's also possible to create a custom DataAdapter to directly import from outlook. but it's a lot more work to do that.

    Cheers,

    That is awesome!

    Is it just to export and import? The Outlook contacts contains more than is necessary for Umbraco. Do I have to filter the CSV before?

    Don't think you need to modify the export, because you can map the properties in UmbImport. If you want a smaller file. You can specify the fields that you want to export during the export process of Outlook.
