Solve the problem of imported VCF files displaying as garbled characters in Outlook.
To fix the problem of garbled characters after importing VCF into Outlook, you can try the following methods:
- Ensure that the encoding used in the VCF file is compatible with Outlook. Outlook typically supports UTF-8 encoding, so you can try converting the encoding of the VCF file to UTF-8 format before importing it into Outlook.
- Use a third-party tool to batch convert VCF files. There are specialized software programs available that can help convert VCF files in bulk to a format compatible with Outlook, such as CSV, before importing them into Outlook.
- Manually editing VCF files. If the VCF file is small and simple, you can try opening it and manually editing any garbled characters, replacing them with the correct ones, and then importing it into Outlook.
- Import the VCF file into another email client such as Gmail or Thunderbird, then export it from these clients as a CSV or PST file format, and finally import it into Outlook. This method avoids directly importing the corrupt VCF file into Outlook.
- Make adjustments in Outlook settings. Sometimes, garbled text issues may be caused by incorrect Outlook settings, so try adjusting the encoding settings in Outlook, such as selecting the correct default encoding or choosing the proper encoding format when importing VCF files.
If the above methods still do not solve the problem, it is recommended to contact Outlook official support or seek professional technical support.
