Hi Pantagruel,
Pantagruel wrote:Here's what I have now tried . . In TB, export all my address books as CSV files. Import them into MyInfoToGo. The result is gibberish. I know I can manually map the fields, but it would take me several lifetimes to accomplish due to the volume of contacts.
Mapping the correct fields is difficult. It should work, but it isn't that easy, although it's do-able as Tomas explained.
Exporting from TB as LDIF (I think!) gives the same result.
That should work, since LDIF is a preset format.
Why not try it out?
Another suggestion is
Dawn, although there's no guarantee it will work
However, export from TB as CSV and import directly into Evolution for Windows and each import is 100% spot on! Evolution has some serious potential!
Some do work great, others are a little more difficult. It seems they perfected the import from other email clients.
Only snag, though, is that Evolution cannot export in anything usable. It can do VCard but MyInfoToGo does not read them.
Yes, VCard isn't supported yet, although when you drag it, it creates a new mail with the attached VCard.
I don't have Outlook, so can't try that!
It was only a suggestion, in case you did have it installed.
Also, does anyone know if MyInfoToGo will be upgraded to v2.5?
Yes, it will be upgraded.
As reported by Slaven a new beta should start soon.
Despite the contacts problem (you would think it would be easy!) I stil maintain that myInfoToGo is the absolute best all-round PIM I have ever used.
There's always room for improvement, but for now it works.
Let's see what the next version brings.
