212047 - Lists exported from Netscape 4.x address book via ldif file are smashed into individual cards (ie, no longer a list), and cannot move lists from other imports into personal address book

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Address Book & Contacts, defect)

Description

[Justin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

I exported an entire personal address book from netscape 4.79, creating an
abook.ldif file.  Upon attempting to import it, all lists within that address
book were smashed into individual cards, but without any email address. 
Subsequent imports in Mozilla seem to show lists, but I am unable to move them
into the personal address book because the name is already reserved, and the
functionality doesn't seem to exist to move it anyway.  Perhaps being able to
import from a file and have it slurp into the Personal address book itself
(instead of another named address book) without compressing lists might be good?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Export all entries from Netscape address book to ldif format
2. Import this file into Mozilla address book
3.

Actual Results:  
see description above.

Expected Results:  
again, see above
