Uploading your Addresses

Once PABTool has been used to generate the destination file, with the exception of MAPI, the user must "import" the file into the target mail client. Each client has a different procedure for uploading addresses into its address book. Groups (or personal distribution lists) will not go through this version of PABTool, and some fields may not carry through because they are not supported in the target format. The summary screen will show the total address count exported upon completion. If you chose LDIF destination, keep in mind that some clients support duplicate display names, but Netscape LDIF does not support duplicate distinguished names (dn:). Because of this, duplicates will be followed with an arbitrary number to make each unique in the LDIF file. If you chose TAB export remember that Palm Pilot does not use dn or display name field, so when your address does not have a first or last name, the display name will be decoded to create those fields.
