Importing An Address Book to Horde

To import an address book, you need to have the address book data to import on your local machine (on which the web browser is running). To do this, you will need to first export the address book information from your current email client.
If you use Outlook Express:
1.  Click on File > Export > Address Book
2.  Select Text File (Comma Separated Values) in the Address Book Export Tool.
3.  Click on Export.
4.  In the Save exported files as field, type in a name for your address book. Click Next.
5.  Put a checkmark in the box to the left of each of the fields that you wish to export.
6.  Click Finish.
7.  You should receive a message that states... Address book export process has completed.
8.  Click OK.
9.  Click Close on the Address Book Export Tool and close Outlook Express.
 
To import an address book:
1.  Open the address book you want to import the information into.
2.  Click on the Import/Export Icon.
3.  Select the type of address information data file you want to import from the selection list.
4.  Click on the browse button to look for the address data file on your computer.
5.  Select the file, and click on the Import button. The information in the file will be imported into your address book.
Some complex entries, or entries with fields that do not match your address book fields, may not import correctly. You should verify the imported data after an import.
