Hello,
What the subject says. I am trying, that is. OK, here's the story. Users very lazy. Don't want to write down their contact details from scratch. Here's what I thought :
migrate (export?) contacts from outlook to mozilla thunderbird. Then find a way to make thunderbird "talk" to dovecot, so that the latter can import the contact details from mozilla tb.
Any ideas ? Will it work ? Am I ranting ? :-)
Thank you all,
that has nothing to do with dovecot which is an imap / pop3 server export adresses from outlook to your prefered file format i.e ldif, csv , import it in thunderbird
the whole stuff might be wizzarided yet, as far i rembember thunderbird ask for import stuff from outlook at first start, whatever for autoconfig servername ports etc with thunderbird/outlook ( up to 2007 ) propagate some stuff in dns anf have right xml entries on some webserver
other possibility configure horde webmail as syncml server use funambol plugins in outlook ,export sync contacts to horde, sync them with thunderbird later from horde, as well as with i.e some android/iphone/blackberry
if using horde dev 4 you can try active sync too, or use zarafa, funambol etc
at last no dovecot job, as long you dont use i.e some kolab extension etc with using imap folder for contacts
