Exporting Adresses into ldif, csv,...and similar formats
Last modified: 2009-05-11 16:04:12 UTC
Hi, I would really love to see and export function in evolution for the adressbook/ contacts. The longer I use evolution the more this feature is missing. I think thunderbird does a good job on the task. Regards, Jonas
you can export all contacts to vcf/vcard, and every application should be able to handle that.
Hi Andre, thanks for your reply. Have you tried it with thunderbird? it`s not possible to do that. I`ve tried it all and asked this question in various forums. It seemed to me that this is a big topic, still unsolved. Please try it with thunderbird or Outlook. They do not support vcf, they require addons (some commercial). ldif or for utf-8 encodings csv is the standard. Do you know if these will be available soon? Regards, Jonas
uff. thunderbird does not support vcard import? that's... "impressive", so to say. csv is not a standard but just a very error-prone workaround to dump anything into a text file without any sorting. please file a bug against thunderbird to support RFC 2426. there are also tools to convert a vcf file to ldif.
:) CSV = error-prone. :) I feel what you mean. Anyway, I think there should be more ways to export contacts. Thanks for your help. One Questions...I`m new to bugzilla..."file a bug against thunderbird to support RFC 2426". How can i do this? I know thunderbird also uses bugzilla. Viele Gruesse, Jonas
Thunderbird's bug tracking system is located at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ . I definitely have to admit that Evolution being able to export to LDIF would be a nice feature, too. The issue could be fixed both in Evo and Thunderbird. :)
