State what you tried and what happened.
File Import will bring over only the Contacts in the default Contacts
Folder of the OE Identity, not subfolders.

I just got the default contacts, is there anyway to get the sub folders
without doing it one by one? and is it possible to keep the subfolders

You will have to save the current contents of the top folder into a temporary
subfolder, copy the contents of one of the subfolders to the top, import the
date, then repeat for the next subfolder. On the Outlook side, you'll have to
move the imported data into subfolders as you import, but why would you want
to do that? Categorize it instead.
