are you sure they did sync? if yes… go and play around a bit with your contacts under nc. like check if they were transferred to the correct addressbook (as you can have more than one), etc.

I’m afraid being tired now and I need some beauty-sleep :smiley:

Thanks again. Your advice was very helpful - and I want to summarize for others who want to import contacts from older outlooks to nextcloud:
With your help I

  • saved and imported the old .pst file
  • installed a current version of outlook (this could be a trial version) and imported the old .pst
  • choose the right .pst file under “Systemsteuerung” - “Mail” - “Datendateien” -> “…Documents…” not “…AppData…” as “Standard” (the old contacts appear at outlook when selecting the right ‘contacts’ on the left of the contacts-menu)
  • installed “CalDav Synchronizer” in Outlook (Best way to migrate vom Outlook (Exchange) to Nextcloud?)
  • here carefully selected the right “synchronization profile” with choosing the correct outlook-contact and calendar files (there could be more, hidden in the menu, due to the .pst imports)
  • and carefully chose the “profiles” so to use the same path in nc and caldav
    -> Finally all outlook contacts with every detail appear in the nextcloud contact app to be synchronized with other devices, so as smartphone or thunderbird on the laptop…
    Great :smiley:
