Re: [Evolution-hackers] importers?

[Aaron Weber <aaron ximian com>]

Here's what I know bothers the people who I spoke to at LinuxWorld, among bugs; all of these I think are already in bugzilla:

Individual file imports of mbox files copied from Eudora fail all too often, although I don't know why; I think possibly because of Windows vs. Linux newlines?

We should have a recursive import of a directory, so that you can import from, say, Eudora or KMail or a tree of MBox files without doing it one by one. We support single file imports, doing a treeful should be easy.

Addressbook imports, especially from csv files, are basically useless. Csv2vcard is not reliable, and isn't in the GUI; it needs to be done right and done in a gui-accessible way.

I can't imagine that any of this is easy, especially parts involving Outlook and transferring files across Windows/Linux partitions. But I don't know the technical details, just the stuff people complain about. :)
