Hi Travis, I know that John Panarese imported a bunch of .csv files, but when I go to export data base in pm mail, the only thing that issupported is .csv, and the file name is addr.csv, but maybe I'm missingsomething in the import process. First, I open up the address book,then I go to the file menu, and go down to text file elipses, and pressvo space bar on that, then because both the side bar and pop up boxes are where I want, which is documents, I vo right arrow to the file browser, and interact with it with vo shift down arrow, and arrow downto addr.csv, and stop interacting with vo shift up arrow, and there's acheck box that says ignore first card, which I don't know what that does, so, I vo right arrow to open, and press vo space bar to open the addr.csv file, and then there is an okay button which is on the far right, so I vo right arrow to it, and press vo space bar to select it,and when I vo right arrow over to where it says the number of cards, itsays 754 cards, so with all this, am I leaving out a step? Thanks in advance for any assistance, but pm mail doesn't support .lif files,only .csv files for exporting the data base, and I'm coming from an old400 megs processor with 192 megs of ram on a windows 98 se machine, so I don't have access to thunderbird, and I have found that pm mail is robust, and has always met my needs, just as a background. Hope this helps, but if anybody needs anything more, let the list know.

Most of the windows apps can save their address books in ldif format. We imported over 1900 email addresses into a friend's machine, and every single one of them came across perfectly. What you'll need to do is the following:1. open your email program from which you wish to export the addresses.2. select export address, select ldif format (if it's supported, if not, there's utilities made by 3rd-party folks that can do it for you, but it might be easier to use a program like thunderbird to do the import from the other mail program, then use it to save them in ldif format) 3. email the file to yourself (or put it on a web site, or on a thumbdrive, or get it to the mac somehow). 4. once the file is on the mac, go to applications and open address book. 5. using vo-m (or whatever method you like) select file>import addresses. 6. point to the file you just pulled off your other machine. 7. follow the prompts, and in a very short time, you'll now have all of your contacts email addresses and all on your mac. Now, you can enter a person's name in mail, and it will bring up their email address automatically. Hope this helps. Do let me know if there is anything missing, this was done from memory, so it's possible I missed a step or two, but we have done this multiple times, and each time, we had no trouble with the results.Click on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.comManage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverMartyClick on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.comManage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover
