When i import contact, two problems :


I wish (as administrator) to decide who will own the 
records. Today they belong to me and that's it.

I do the importation for everybody, it's a pain in...


   SECOND PROBLEM :

I import contacts from netscape (or Outlook express, 
it is the same).

I have to separately import the contacts, category 
after category. OK that's not a big deal.

But if a contact is in many categories, you create a 
new contact. If a contact is in 5 category, i have 5 
duplicates.

Instead, when importing you should detect a similar 
contact exist already (same email, and name/company), 
then instead of creating a new contact, just modify 
the existing one, adding it ALSO in the new category.
