Importing mass email addresses into Address Book?

My boss just got a new Blackberry and wants to sync her contacts. Unfortunately, she is not very good at making address book entries.
Is there a way to quickly import any email address into Address Book? She doesn't need the everything edited with name, address, etc...since she knows most of these people by their email address more than their first/last names!

They aren't located anywhere. She has all her email messages archived in Mail.app for the last 3 years so she'd like to extract them from there.
Is there some kind of built-in email address list in Mail.app, because it seems to auto complete any email address she types despite it not being in the Apple address book app.

Switcher w/ problems importing MSN email address book

I downloaded ABEE to help with importing my MSN address book to MacMail but it only lists contact names .... no email adresses or other information. Any suggestions to solve this problem?
Thanks, pbee

hi pbbe,
welcome to the forums.
1) log into hotmail
2) at the top left of the screen, next to the word "windows live" there is the word hotmail, when you place the cursor over this word a menu will drop down, chose "contacts"
3) on the left side of the screen there is the word "all contacts" to the left of all contacts there is "manage" click on manage
4) when you click on manage a drop down menu will appear click on "export"
5) the page will change, you will be prompted to type in a list of random letters and numbers, do so, then click the "export" button
6) after step 5, you should be downloading your contacts as a CSV file. open "address book"
7) back up your address book, just in case the import goose wrong. go to the menu bar
8) click on the file menu
9) go to the export option, from the sub menu chose "address book archive"
10) chose some where to save it and do so
11) now that you have a backup, import the contacts. go back to the file menu
12) chose import
13 navigate to the downloaded contacts and click import
you should now have your contacts including your email. But if you don't, you can convert back to your address book backup

Importing Netscape's address book into Apple's Address Book application

I want to import my email Netscape email address book into Apple's Address Book application. So I open the Address Book application and select import from the pull down menu. That brings up three choices, vCards, LDIF and Text. I previously had saved my Netscape address book as a pdf file. So I selected, Text. A window appeared from which I was to select where I wanted to get the file from. I made selections until I got to where my pdf file was and selected it. But I got the following error message.
The file you selected does not appear to be a valid comma separated values (csv) file nor a valid tab delimited file, please choose another file.
So I tried again and this time I selected LDIF, but when the file in my Netscape Users Profile that would appear to be my address book came up, it was “greyed out” and I could not select it. The file had the name “abook.mab”. It is not an LDIF file. There are no LDIF files in my profile.
So I tried selecting vCards, but I got the exact same results as above. The file that looks like it is my address book, is grayed out and cannot be selected.
So I went into Netscape to see if I could export my address book into Apple’s Address Book. I chose export from the Netscape menu and a window opened asking me to select where I wanted to export the file to. But when I got to Apple’s Address Book application, it was greyed out and could not be selected. The same thing happened when I tried to select Apple’s Mail program.
I have about three hundred email addresses in my Netscape address book. If these addresses have to be manually entered into Apple's Address Book, I will not make the switch to Apple's Mail program.

Netscape's Address Book window does not have that option. The Export option is under the Tools menu, but does not give you any options in the Tools menu. Once you select Export, the Export Address Book window opens. This window does have a format option where you can select either LDIF, Comma Separated or Tab Delimited. But it doesn't matter which of those I select, Apple's Address Book and Mail applications are not available for selection.

I can sign into my email account where it goes to "Email Preview", it's stuck on that page. I cannot retrieve my emails, address book, etc. Why can't I get my email page?

When I sign into my email account I am brought to the "Email Preview" page. When I click on "email", "address book" or any of the other files, it tries to connect. In the box at the top it says "connect, then Zimbra, then connect again. Then I am brought right back to the "Email Preview" page.
I can't even open individual emails from this page. I am stuck on this page.
Altho, I can sign out.

How about '''View Entire Inbox''', does that work?

I use an i-pad and my primary account email is aol. Is there a way to import my aol address book onto my ipad "contacts?"

I am using an ipad and the primary account email is aol. Is there a way to import my aol address book onto my ipad "contacts" app?

Oops, I found the answer to my question. Great knowledge base! I had originally imported via the automatic popup dialog box that appeared when I installed TB, and didn't absorb at the time that there would be a way to do an import later, after TB install, too, and even for specific parts of OE (address book vs. mail messages, etc.).
I pasted the link to the "Migrate to Thunderbird" page that includes how to migrate just an Address Book from OE, but the following is all that pastes in: 9723729938
I have typed out the link here:

when your Pod is connected to your machine, and you click on its icon in the left window of iTunes, you should see something like this (image shows an iPhone but should also apply to a Touch)
click on the info tab and select the items you wish to sync to your iPod.

Why does my Verizon email address book use 'Nickname' as key sorting field ?

I'm a new Verizon email user and have just created my Verizon email address book from my Microsoft Office Outlook (not Outlook Express) Contacts file, using the TrueAssistant application that Verizon provides for folks moving to Verizon from another email ISP. Earlier, a Verizon Tech Support chat-line staffer assured me it was NOT possible to move my email contacts from Office to the Verizon address book; I guess he wasn't familiar with TrueAssistant. :-(
The conversion seemed to go over fine, but when I then looked at my newly-created Verizon address book, in every case the last name of each contact was stored in the 'Nickname' field , and the first name was completely missing. When I manually replaced some of the first names in their proper fields and removed the nicknames, the application didn't know what to do with the contact.
Has anyone else had this problem in using TrueAssistant to move contacts from Outlook into Verzon's email address book?
Is it even possible to see both the first and last names in the display of the Contacts file (or any sub-Group)? And if so, how do I do it? I don't see any way to specify how I want to display t address book entries. Would appreciate some help. Thanks and Happy New Year!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I've never used the TrueSwitch software, but I've never had to. You can export your contacts from Outlook, Outlook Express, etc. into a .csv file and import them directly to your verizon.net account. If you log into your verizon.net account and go to your contacts list there's an Import Contacts button.
If you need any assistance with that process let me know, I can try to provide a step-by-step for your client.
As for sorting by name, this functionality does not appear to be available in the "Basic Interface" of Verizon's webmail. Switching to the "Rich Interface" causes the name to be displayed in a Last, First format and sorting by name is an option.
Hope this helps!

Possible to do one-time import of Thunderbird address book?

From reading the past 18 months worth of postings, I realize that iPhone communication with Thunderbird is very bad, and it seems to be impossible to sync the Thunderbird address book to the iPhone contacts.
But even if I can't keep them synced, is there a way to do a one-time import of the address book into my iPhone contacts? I can export the address book as a csv text file if that helps. I hate the thought of having to type in all the people in the address book manually, since I have about 100 of them.

Well, you are asking for 100kS at a rate of ~22kS/sec. That is ~4.5 seconds worth of data that you are asking for from the sound card. That is what is making your system slow.
I am afraid I do not quite understand what you mean (I am not overly confident about the workings of computers).
Data Acquisition 101. It takes time to take data. YOU told the sound card to acquire data at ~22kS/s. YOU asked for 100k samples each loop iteration. Therefore YOU asked for 4.5 seconds worth of data each loop iteration. If you want the iterations to go faster, you need to either 1) increase the sample rate and/or 2) decrease the number of samples you acquire with each read.

How do I get an export tool for my email address book?

In past years there was an export tool in my email address book.
I recently went to export and the tool was no longer on the tool bar, nor was the import tool.
I would like to have this tool.

When I open my inbox, across the header are the words Mozilla Thunderbird.

Importing folders from Address Book

Hi all,
I'm new to iPod and am wondering if there is a way to import folders from Address Book. At the moment I've got a long list of names in alphabetical order (some duplicated because they exist in more than one folder).
Thanks,
Andrew

You might want to ask for further suggestions in the Mac OS X 10.5 forum, then. Someone there might know how to get the database from Address Book 5 into AB4, if it's even possible.
Regards.

HT201320 Is there a way to transfer my Comcast email address book to my iPhone 4s?

Is there a way to transfer my Comcast email adress book to my iPhone 4s?

If Comcast does not provide an option to sync your Comcast online contacts with an address book app on your computer, they should provide an option for exporting the contacts to be imported by an address book app on your computer that supports syncing contacts with the iPhone.
