I wrote some elisp which might help in importing addresses from Netscape to bbdb. One has to first go to Netscape address book and then save the information in comma separated file format. And then run the function (netscape-to-bbdb) on it. And about importing from Outlook, I first imported into Navigator and then imported into bbdb from the csv file. Also, there is a Perl script which http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?BbdbImportFromOutlook can import and writes directly to bbdb file. I should have commented and documented the code and written certain things in a better way, if anyone wants to improve the code or patch it then you are most welcome to do that. Is there any "bbdb" menu? If none, then it should not be hard to write one!! Cheers.
netscape-to-bbdb.el
Description: imports addresses into bbdb from csv file generated by netscape address book
