Can't import contacts into Address Book

When I try to import a list of contacts in a .csv file into either the Address Book or the Global Address Book I only get the First Name and Last Name but not the e-mail address or phone number.

I shortened the file to four fields (First Name, Last Name, Name, E-mail Address) and the same thing happens.

What is the proper organization of the .csv file for import or does this feature not work?

Thanks!

In csv file you need to have a header line with field names. List of supported labels you can find in lib/Roundcube/rcube_csv2vcard.php file, it's $label_map array. Finally, because of a bug I found now, all values need to be inside quotes.

Thanks, Alec,

My CSV file has a header row.

I created a short file (Header Row and 6 names with e-mail addresses) for test purposes. My header row is: First Name,Last Name,E-mail Address

This is what I found:

1. First Name and Last Name were imported correctly with or without quotes (" ") around values
2. If I put " " around e-mail address values, first name and last name were still imported correctly but e-mail address was not imported
3. If I put ' ' around e-mail address values, nothing was imported

Is the order of the values in the CSV file important? Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks!
