I tried importing a CSV address book to Claws Mail. It turned out Claws Mail doesn't support CSV/LDIF address book imports.

This is a must have for anyone that wants to switch over from an old MUA to Claws Mail.

LDIF is supported (Addressbook/Tools/LDIF)

Comment 2 Abdull 2012-03-16 16:20:17 UTC

Oops, I meant "CSV and vCard import". Both are popular schemas for importing and exporting address books.

Comment 3 Paul 2012-03-16 16:42:42 UTC

vCard is supported (Book/New vCard)

Comment 4 Abdull 2012-03-16 17:04:04 UTC

You are right. This way works.

But I found this counter-intuitive. I would have expected that vCard entry (additionally?) at (German Version) "Addressbuch -> Extras -> Import vCard file... "

What about giving the GUI such an extra entry?
