I used Outlook Express for years then change to IncrediMail, and finally use
MS Outlook. The latter is good in importing email accounts, msg from my last
programs.
However importing contacts are bad. If we use automatic import: 1 contact in
MS address book .wab is converted into 3 entries in Outlook address (first
name, middle name, last name...). If we import manually: we have to choose
which field is corresponding to which. There're hundred fields to choose but
some essential ones are not there
. Then things messed up.
..wab have fixed structure. Outlook personal address have almost fixed
structure that can contain .wab structure. And the relationship between their
fields are almost 1-to-1, quite straightforward: 90% similar fields of 2
addresses have the same name. Why don't they give a default import
relationship between them, then for those fields they're not sure just let
users choose. It'll save 90% user time to import.
Damn, I still have to use .wab
