gmail2bbdb (v0.0.6)

http://melpa.org/packages/gmail2bbdb-badge.svg http://stable.melpa.org/packages/gmail2bbdb-badge.svg

gmail2bbdb will import name and email from Gmail contacts into BBDB file. So you can auto-complete email address in Emacs.

Please note the BBDB file only contains name and email address. I remove useless BBDB features to minimize the maintaining cost.

Why

  • Easy to use. Only one command.
  • Robust. It has NO dependency.
  • Long term support. I will maintain it in next 10 years.

Install

Download gmail2bbdb.el and place it somewhere (say ~/.emacs/lisp). Add below code into your .emacs:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/lisp/")
(autoload 'gmail2bbdb-import-file "gmail2bbdb" nil t nil)

Usage

  • Install latest BBDB from melpa
  • At Gmail contacts page, click “More -> Export -> vCard format -> Export”, the file “contacts.vcf” will be downloaded.
  • Run command “M-x gmail2bbdb-import-file” and select contacts.vcf. “$HOME/.bbdb” will be created.

You can specify a different path of output file,

(setq gmail2bbdb-bbdb-file "~/.emacs.d/.bbdb")

You can specify the email excluded patterns. Email address matching one of the patterns will be excluded.

(add-to-list 'gmail2bbdb-excluded-email-regex-list "noreply@mycompany.com")

Tips (OPTIONAL)

See my BBDB setup.
