- Click on the "Settings" icon (represented by a gear) in the top-right corner of the app.
- Click on "View all Outlook settings" (if you're using Outlook) or "Settings" (if you're using the built-in Mail app).
- Scroll down to the "Accounts" section and click on "Linked accounts".
- Click on the "Import contacts" button.
- Select "CSV" as the file type and choose the CSV file you want to import.

Method 2: Import contacts using Outlook
If you're using Outlook on your Windows 10 device, you can import contacts from a CSV file using the Outlook app:
- Open Outlook on your Windows 10 device.
- Click on the "File" menu and select "Open & Export".
- Click on "Import/Export" and then select "Import from another program or file".
- Select "Comma Separated Values (Windows)" as the file type and choose the CSV file you want to import.

- Click "Finish" to start the import process.
Tips and considerations
- Make sure your CSV file is in the correct format, with columns for "First Name", "Last Name", "Email", and "Phone" (or similar fields).
- If your CSV file contains duplicate contacts, you may want to merge them or remove duplicates before importing.
- The Mail app on Windows 10 supports importing contacts from CSV files with the following formats: CSV (Comma Separated Values), TSV (Tab Separated Values), and VCF (vCard).
- If you're using a third-party email client or app, you may need to check its documentation for specific instructions on importing contacts from a CSV file.
