Addressbook CSV Import from Thunderbird

[anoxi]

Imported addresses from Thunderbird miss the email address, because Thunderbird uses "Primary Email" instead of "Email" as column header. Also some kind of help/documentation of the csv import would be nice what columns are expected, thanks.

Could you give me (support@rainloop.net) your CSV file for testing. It will help me improve this functionality.

Example CSV Export from Thunderbird:

First Name,Last Name,Display Name,Nickname,Primary Email,Secondary Email,Screen Name,Work Phone,Home Phone,Fax Number,Pager Number,Mobile Number,Home Address,Home Address 2,Home City,Home County,Home Post Code,Home Country,Work Address,Work Address 2,Work City,Work County,Work Post Code,Work Country,Job Title,Department,Organisation,Web Page 1,Web Page 2,Birth Year,Birth Month,Birth Day,Custom 1,Custom 2,Custom 3,Custom 4,Notes

I tested rainloop 1.10.1 on my Debian Wheezy; I tried to import a CSV file, which was exported from Thunderbird 38.7.2. But, I failed. Nothing can be imported.

The CSV file is written in Japanese, which might have caused the problem.

As a trial, I replaced the top line (in Japanese) with its English counterpart. Then, only e-mail addresses have been imported, whereas Name, Phone, etc. have not been imported.

As another trial, I converted the CSV file, which was originally in Shift-JIS code, into UNICODE (UTF-8). But, nothing has been imported.

Could you help me?

RainLoop supports CSV with english headers only.
Could you give me example file for test?

Dear RainLoop Team,

Thank you for reply.

I am sending herewith two examples:

1. TBadbook.csv: A CSV file, which was exported from TB. The header and addresses are in Japanese.
2. TBadbook2.csv: A CSV file, in which the header is replaced with the English counterpart. Addresses are partly in Japanese.

With best regards,

kanrisya

A csv from thunderbird with German headers does not work. Replacing the header with the following (taken from a post here) works flawlessly.

First Name,Last Name,Display Name,Nickname,Primary Email,Secondary Email,Screen Name,Work Phone,Home Phone,Fax Number,Pager Number,Mobile Number,Home Address,Home Address 2,Home City,Home County,Home Post Code,Home Country,Work Address,Work Address 2,Work City,Work County,Work Post Code,Work Country,Job Title,Department,Organisation,Web Page 1,Web Page 2,Birth Year,Birth Month,Birth Day,Custom 1,Custom 2,Custom 3,Custom 4,Notes
