I'm one of the development team on Sylpheed-Claws. I came across your mail in the archive of [EMAIL PROTECTED], and noticed the answer you were given was incorrect. I have a few to minutes to spare, so here is the correct answer: In Evolution (tested with version 1.2.1) when you are on the Contacts Page, choose '/File/Save as vCard'. It is then possible to read the vCard into the Sylpheed(-Claws) address book: In the Sylpheed address book choose '/File/New vCard', then in the dialogue that follows give it a name, and select the vCard file. Voilą, your Evolution contacts list is available in Sylpheed. Hope that helps. best regards Paul PS Please, if you feel like, respond to the thread on the mandrake and tell them this. Thanks. ..snip.. David -- Registered Linux User #207521 "The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory." (Paul Fix)
