Re: [Evolution] interfacing witn openoffice

Des,
Thanks for your reply. It simply doesn't. In the window (Wizard-> Adress
data source -> Other external data source (choice: Mozilla, LDAP, other)
-> settings I can choose from many different choices (LDAP, Mozilla,
dBase, Adabas, JDBC, MySQL, ODBC, Oracle, Spreadsheet, Text,
Thunderbird) but no Evolution. I have posted the same question on the OO
user-list but till now no response.Maybe I have to post in on the
developers list. But If there is a method to export to MySQL my problem
is also solved. But as I don't know the format of the contacts database
in Evolution I cannot write an exporter (e.g. to comma-delimited
text-file) and I don't know if one exists.
You maybe have some ore information?
Joep
