All,
Microsoft provides no facilities to migrate my data (specifically
Contacts) out of Outlook into a format that Mozilla can read.
I did try exporting my Contacts as CSV files, however Mozilla
understands only a fixed format for this kind of data (i.e.
Mozilla does not read the CSV headers and place the data in the "right
place").
So I'm stuck. Does anyone here know of a plugin or utility that
can export Contacts lists in Microsoft Outlook to a format that
Mozilla understands (like vCard, LDIF)?
Also, it appears that Mozilla sets up individual addressbooks for
each user login. I would really like to centralize these addresses
someplace on my machine (like /shared/Addresses) so that all users
can read the same set of addresses.
Yeah I know, I could use LDAP, but this requires a lot of setup
and a database to store the contacts. I kindof wanted a more
lightweight solution.
Any ideas on getting all of my contact data and email addresses
out of Outlook and into a Linux/commmon format?
