Importing Multiple E-mail Addresses
Other modern applications have multiple e-mail fields for different e-mail addresses. For example, many contacts these days have a work e-mail address, a home e-mail address, and perhaps one or two other e-mail addresses. TB!, however, still has no way to import contact records from other programs so that the multiple e-mail addresses go into the proper fields in TB! TB! does not even have multiple e-mail address fields. Is this something that is slated for development in the near future? -- JN Current beta is (none) | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

I don't remember about the importing, but TB can handle multiple addresses. Just put them all in the one field, one address per line. You can access them by using address picker when composing a message. Just right click on a contact that has multiple addresses. Select Add Address and you can select which one you want. It would be nice if the address picker could use a tree view to display a contact's multiple addresses. It would make selecting multiple addresses easier. One thing that is completely missing (unless I missed its announcement), is a way of inserting the alternate email addresses using templates. The %AB macros will match any of the listed addresses, but %ABnnnEMAIL inserts only the primary address. -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal Current beta is (none) | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

Hello Joseph, On Sunday, March 7, 2004 at 20:09 GMT -0600, crowds cheered as Joseph N. unveiled: JA I don't remember about the importing, snip That's a manual procedure that is of no use when importing many hundreds contact records, Like I said, I don't know about importing. My comment was about TB not supporting multiple addresses for a single contact. TB does support multiple addresses, in fact it supports an arbitrary number of addresses per contact. It may not be the most convenient thing in the world, but... Have you tried exporting a contact with multiple addresses from TB and comparing how that looks to the file you're importing? As a work-around, maybe a short third-party script/macro could get you going. Different issue, Call it thread drift...g -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal Current beta is (none) | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
