• AOL: AOL doesn’t have the functionality to export your address book, so you’ll have to create a custom CSV file if you use this service.

• Others: Refer to your service or client help section for information on how to export your address book. If you have trouble uploading a file into Inbox.com,
  you may need to open the file in Excel, alter the columns and/or headers, and then save the file as .csv.
