Addressbook Transfer
The Webmail system uses its own addressbook. It does not use the same
addressbook as, for example, Pine on __SERVICE__. If you wish to use
either your __SERVICE__ Pine addressbook, or a local Pine format
addressbook, you will need to import it into Webmail.
Using this screen you can:
- import a Pine or Outlook format addressbook on your local system
into your Webmail addressbook;
- export your Webmail addressbook to a Pine or Outlook format addressbook
on your local system;
- import your Pine addressbook on __SERVICE__ into your
Webmail addressbook;
- export your Webmail addressbook for use with Pine on __SERVICE__.
Addressbook Transfer
The Webmail can import and export two different forms of addressbook.
Comma Separated Variable (CSV) format addressbooks are used by Outlook and
Outlook Express. PINE format addresses are used by PINE and Mulberry. If
you wish to use an addressbook from another mail client, such as Eudora,
then you will first need to find a method of saving or exporting the
addressbook into the correct format.
- To transfer a Pine or CSV address book from your local system into the
Webmail system, Browse to the location of the address book on
your local disk, select the appropriate file, then select
Import. The entries will be merged with any entries you
already have in your Webmail addressbook. New entries will appear at
the end of your Webmail addressbook.
- To transfer your Webmail address book to your local system, select
Export CSV (Outlook) addressbook or
Export PINE addressbook or then use your browser's
"Save" feature to navigate to where you wish to put the address book.
- To import your Pine addressbook on __SERVICE__ into your Webmail
addressbook select Import from Unix Pine addressbook.
Your Pine addressbook is imported and
you are returned to the addressbook listing screen.
The entries will be merged with any entries you already have
in your Webmail addressbook. New entries will appear at the end
of your Webmail addressbook.
- To export your Webmail addressbook for use with Pine on __SERVICE__
select Export to Unix Pine adddressbook. Your addressbook
is exported and you are returned to the addressbook listing screen.
