Sorry for getting back *that* late...
I need to get a copy of my Evolution contacts exported to Outlook.
Again someone asking us how to import to *Outlook*. Seems like Micros~1 does not use standards and has no support either...
Someone on this list suggested saving them as a .vcf file I have tried this but Outlook will not read them in. It sees the first contact and imports it but ignores the rest.
Well, seems to be your lucky day... [If it isn't too late already. Archives will be glad about this anyway.] AFAIK this is an Outlook issue, as Outlook does not recognize any vCards after the first one. However, I have already written a script to split that vCard list into single vCard files only holding one Contact per file and thus making Outlook happy. I have tested the script on my local data and it did work for Outlook 2002, IIRC. Use it at your *own* *risk*, though. [In fact, I even could just copy-n-paste my response. :)] $ vcf-split.pl list.vcf will split list.vcf into separate .vcf files. Be sure to have *no* other files (beside the script and the list) in that directory, cause files will be created without further checking! Overwriting does not generate a warning. Of course you can/should have a look at the script yourself. It uses the X-EVOLUTION-FILE-AS as unique file name (should be reasonably unique for this purpose) and uses a number for vCards without names. Hopefully you can import all those .vcf files at once by marking them all -- don't know. I hope, that gets you working...
Any suggestions as to how to get contacts from Evolution to Outlook would be appreciated.
*sigh* Sure, this is open source. ;-)
