How to Export and Import Contacts in Roundcube

In establishing a business, the usual main point of contact is your email. There are contacts that you will get in touch daily. For easy access to your contacts, adding their email addresses to your Contacts list can help. 

If you already have these email addresses handy, before you’ve created your email account, you have the option to import them to your Contacts on Roundcube and export them as well.
