You can download all your contacts from webmail as one file. Keep it as a backup, or use it to move your contacts to another app or mailbox.

## Export from webmail

1. [Log in to webmail](/log-in/).
2. Open **Contacts**.
3. Click the three-dot button (**...**) above your contact list.
4. Choose **Export All VCard** or **Export All CSV**.
5. Save the file somewhere safe, such as your computer or company drive.

## Which format to pick

- **vCard** (a `.vcf` file) - best for phones and most mail apps.
- **CSV** - best if you want to open the list in Excel or bring it into Outlook.

If you are not sure, export both. The files are small.

## Bring them back later

To load the file into Office Niaga Mail again, or into another mailbox, follow [Import contacts](/import-contacts/). Both vCard and CSV files can be imported.

> **Tip**
> Export a fresh copy every few months, or before you make big changes to your contact list.

## Common issues

### How do I move contacts to a new staff member's mailbox?

Export the contacts from the old mailbox, then log in to the new mailbox and import the file (/import-contacts/). For a full handover, see When a staff member leaves (/staff-leaving/).

### Can I keep my contacts on my phone without exporting a file?

Yes. Sync them to your phone instead, so changes show up in both places. See Sync your contacts with your phone (/contacts-mobile/).
