Description Juergen Matschonat 2005-08-17 15:10:03 UTC

Version:           1.8 (using KDE 3.4.0 Level "b" , SUSE 9.3)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.11.4-21.8-default

Hello,
I had to import a longer list of email-adresses with no more else fields (e.g. name, telephone,...). The file was only one email-adress per line, nothing else. With import / csv-list it was not possible to get these adresses to a new adressbook, first I had to enter a second value per line and import this as "nickname" (for example) and the email-adresses as "email". I testet a few different settings, seperated by blank field, seperated by..., but only when I addad a second value per line it worked. I could import the adresses as "name" for example, without to add another value, that worked. But not as "email".

I needed also two fields (using the excelent csv importer window) to be able to import the emails in kmail 1.10.1 (kde 4.1.66).
I would like also to be able to import them with only one field, using, for example, the account name of the email address (the a part of a@b.c.d...) as the given name.

Hi,
instead of complainig about "too many '@' " after pasting a semicolon-separated list of email-adresses into the to field kmail should automatically create a temporary list by tokenizing that string from the 'To'-field and send the message to all the reciptents in a loop.

Defining adress-lists is fine, when this list is used regularly, but this way
it would be possible and extremly easy to send a message to several people at once without first defining a group that would probably never be used again.

Thank you for your efforts you put into this bug. kab3 has long been deprecated, and so I close its old reports. If this bug/wish is still valid for kab3's successor kaddressbook in any recent version (5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08.0 or later), please file a new bug against kaddressbook.
