   Jan, did you download Netscape Navigator instead of Netscape
   Communicator? If answer is 'yes', you cannot get an address book,
   because Navigator is stand-alone browser!
   In this case you should download Netscape Communicator (much bigger
   in size...) and then you will be able to do all those things
   Syafril has said about exporting address book from OE to TB!...

Hello Jan Rifkinson,

Responding  to  your  article  on Tue, 10 Oct 2000 at 08:51:45 GMT -0400
(which was 10/10/2000 19:51 GMT +0700 my Local Time) :

JR>   Let  me say that I have exported from IE to CSV format &
JR>   was  able  to import it into TB! however, I was not able

JR>   such  as  Tel  #, web page, etc. despite the fact that I
JR>   set this up in the fields.

That's  what  I  found here, so I recommend to use Netscape Messanger as
"translation  engine".  3-4  month  ago, I had help more than 3 people to
convert OE5 AB to TB!.

JR>   So  I  take  this  opportunity to thank you all for your
JR>   help.  My  conclusion,  on  day  20 of my TB! evaluation
JR>   period,  is  that  the  TB!  developers should make this
JR>   transfer easier given the popularity of OE.

While  I  agree  this, if you still have the problem for the conversion,
send me the *.csv file privately, then I will send you back *.abd file.

You  right as far as OE5 installed at same PC with NS, for this case the
procedure  more  simple,  from  Netscape  Messanger Address Book just do
"import from Outlook Express" then export to LDIF format.

Commonly  OE user not installed Netscape Messanger, so I ask him to send
*.csv  file,  then  send  him  back  *.abd  with instruction save at TB!
default directory.

I wrote about a few days ago. Don't know you didn't notice it.
Just  export  OE  address  book as Comma Separated Text and now import
into TB! as Address List (Plaint text) from Address Book/File/Import

Try http://www.interguru.com/ convert your OE address book to LDIF
which TB! can import without editing fields. If you have a copy of
Netscape you can import from OE and export to LDIF with similar
results.

Yeah, that's what I meant with "...not very elegant...". It took me hours ! But
at least it was less work than typing all in.

Sorry, can't provide a better solution. But I remember having discussed a
similar problem with someone off-list. I browsed my msgs but can't find out who
it was.

Well, when I had to import the adresses from Outlook, I just exported any adress
as Vcard from OE and imported the vcard in TB. Not very elegant, esp. when many
adresses have to be imported. At least it worked :-) !

Sorry, not that I'm dodging the call to serve my country...ehhh,
fellow Batmen, it's just that I don't know the answer. While I took
great pain importing all my old mail into TB, I purposefully left my
old address book (which was in a mess anyway) behind. So, maybe
someone else could pick this one up.

Yes. In the new message template for the folder insert the following:

Watch out however when hitting mailto: links in messages residing in
this folder. They will be addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as well.

A more foolproof method would be to create an address book entry for
TBUDL, define templates for it and include it in your favourites menu by
ticking the favourites column box in the address book. Whenever you wish
to write a new message to the list, select TBUDL from your favourites
menu elicited by either hitting the little arrow on the new message
toolbar button or right clicking on the To: field in the editor window.
