[imp] Importing addressbook from CSV file

[Mike Coughlan]

Outlook importing is an important tool for Turba.

For the record, I've resorted to the "export to file" function to import
Outlook contacts to other programs like LDAP. I remember that it was not
trivial because the notes field contained newlines, spaces, almost anything.
Perhaps the Outlook DBASE export would have been easier as you may be able
to make use of a DBASE library, or if you can read the pst format, then you
can export just contacts to a pst. My code was perl code, and you are
welcome to have it.

Maybe we should continue this in the turba list. If interested, please reply
in person, and I'll sign up for that.
