I've imported/exported and it says something like it cannot identify with the
root of the folder. What do I do?

Since you can't import to a folder in the Public Folders hierarchy, it's unclear what you're trying to do. Please provide more complete details, along with the exact text of the error message.

First, forget export/import. Open your private Contacts folder. Select all
the entries with CTRL-A. Click Edit>Copy to Folder. Specify the public
folder as the destination. Click OK.
