Description Martin Steigerwald 2010-05-07 20:56:25 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.4.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

KAddressBook should ease migration from kab3 and when switching to a different computer for the casual user. Thus I suggest to run a import wizard on first run, which offers the following choices:

1) Importing an existing kab3 addressbook std.vcf file. It should auto-detect the file and auto select the option when it is found (also see bug #223139).

2) Importing an existing addressbook file in another format... currently KAddressBook / Akonadi seems to support vCard, CSV, LDIF, GMX file based addressbooks. The wizard should try to auto-detect the format of the address book file the user points at.

3) Importing an existing addressbook from an LDAP / AD server.

Also see the kde-pim mailing list thread "KDE Addressbook on an Appliance":
