Re: [Evolution] Address book inporting

[Ken Schar <kenschar hotmail com>]

Hi Chris,

I tried using the import utility, thanks!!  It worked pretty well however,
as far as screen output it stopped on a name with the last name C but
apparently continued on as the other addresses where transferred. But the
mailing addresses didn't get transferred only name/category/e-mail
address, etc.  Then I had to kill the job it never terminated.

But it moved in LOTS of stuff and has made my job considerable
easier.  I'm will to test it some more if you need me to.

Thank-you!
 Ken
