-   I wnat to get rid of Outlook, but I need to maintain my contact list.

Using my palm for copying info to linux is not acceptable for the contact list, as tehre are more info than the ones stored in the PDA.

How can I do?

I treid to export the files as comma separated text, but I have a lot of problems importing them in Kaddr (and no way in Evolution!)

Do you have any suggestions or do you know any Howto that can help me?

Thank you,
Adalberto

-   You can export your addresses to MS Exchange and then use KMail Import to
import them into Kmail.

-   I treid to export my contact list to a pab *.file and it works, but when I try to import it in Kaddr, it does the import but then I see some weird thinks and when it finishes and I open Kaddr, I see only 1 name and not complete.

I also tried to export the contact list using a CVS file (comma separated), but again, when I import it I see the same behaviour.

I export from Outlook 2000, any idea?

Thanks,

Adalberto
