See --add-email command line option and README. -Q: Does abook support palm addressbooks? - -A: No, but there are utilities to convert palm addressbooks to ldif - files. Abook can import ldif files. - +Q: How can I import my abook entries to my PalmOS addressbook? + +A: Export to palmcsv format, and import from there. Several GUI + applications such as jpilot can do this, but the simplest way is to + use pilot-addresses from the pilot-link package. Just export to + addresses.palmcsv, then run this: + + pilot-addresses -d abook -c abook -r addresses.palmcsv + + This will delete everything in the abook category and replace it with + the latest information from your abook database. By keeping your + abook entries in a separate category, you can continue to add and + modify entries in other categories manually, and pilot-addresses will + not change or delete them. + (This entry was contributed by Jeff Covey) last update: $Date$
