    Hi. I'm Brian. As far as I can find, Spectrum (Charter Communications) doesn't support csv importing as suggested by the AI. They specifically mention vfc importing and you can't export contacts en masse in any form by CSV, You can export them from Outlook.com in vfc format provided you do them one at a time, which doesn't seem very convenient. The easiest way, in my opinion, is to use a mail client like Outlook for Windows (or whatever platform you use) to connect to your Outlook.com mailbox. That will allow your contacts to appear on the device. You can then add your Spectrum account to that same client so both the Outlook.com and the Spectrum mailbox are in the client and your contacts will be available for both mailboxes.

    Export the contacts from Outlook.com or Outlook on the web as a .csv file, then import that file into Spectrum email if Spectrum supports CSV contact import.

    Steps in Outlook.com or Outlook on the web:

    1. Open People.
    2. Select Manage contacts > Export contacts.
    3. Choose All contacts or a specific folder.
    4. Select Export.
    5. The contacts are saved as a .csv file, typically in the Downloads folder.

    If using new Outlook instead:

    1. Open People.
    2. Select Export contacts from the ribbon.
    3. Choose the folder to export from.
    4. Select Export.
    5. The .csv file is saved to Downloads.

    If the exported file will be imported elsewhere, opening it in Excel first can help review or edit the contact data before import.
