+ This perl script will convert a Kmail addressbook that has been
+ exported in csv format into a Sylpheed addressbook.
HOW TO USE IT
- Inside Netscape export your address book to a file.
- From the command line, execute:
-
- ./ldif-to-xml.py <path/filename>
+ (You must run sylpheed at least once before running this script.)
+
+ Open Kmail's Addressbook, /File/Address Book
+ In Kmail's Addressbook choose '/File/Export/Export List...'. This
+ will allow you to export your Kmail addressbook data to a *.csv file.
- In case of trouble, just invoke your python interpreter directly:
+ If Sylpheed is running, close it.
- python ldif-to-xml.py <path/filename>
+ From the command line, execute the following:
+
+ perl kmail2sylpheed_v2.pl --kmailfile=/path/to/addressbook.csv
+
+ You can also use --help to see usage instructions.
- Either way a file called addressbook.xml will be generated in the current
- directory. This xml file should be merged with or simply placed in the
- $HOME/.sylpheed directory.
+ Your Kmail addressbook data will now be contained in Sylpheed's
+ addressbook, under the name 'Kmail address book'.
