Re: [Phpgroupware-users] Importing Outlook Addressbook

WAB is the Windows Address Book/Outlook Express format.  Outlook uses an
Exchange database store or a PST file if you're using personal folders
locally on your workstation.

All of those formats are Windows-proprietary.  In other words, there's a
99.9999999% chance you'll never get those to import into PHPGW.  CSV is the
way to go in this event because CSV is "reasonably" platform independent (a
simple comma-delimited list.).

Subject: [Phpgroupware-users] Importing Outlook Addressbook


Hi everybody. I´m trying to import my Outlook addressbook into
PHPGroupWAre but it only works when I export it in CSV format and I use
the Advanced IMport option.

Which format is suposed to have my outlook adressbook exported? Does it
work the import if the addressbook is in WAB format or I should export
it in another kind of format? Is supposed my addressbook file exported
should be in a human readable file? I don´t know quite much about WAB
file but I can not open it with my text editor.

Thanks for help

Jorge
