Details

Importing addresses from Outlook 98 Contacts seems to import all fields except
the email address!?!

Steps to reproduce:

1) Bring up the address book.
2) Choose the File/Import... menu.
3) Pick "Address Books" and "Outlook"
4) Hit OK

Results:

A new address book named "Contacts" that is populated with all fields from
Contacts in Outlook except the email address field.

Expected Result:

I would expect the email address to be imported as well.

I tried this with Mozilla 2000082104 on NT4 with Outlook 98.

esther - we should try - if this is reproducible, mark nsbeta3.
Upgraded to Outlook 2000.  Still imports everything except the email address.
Mozilla 101820 on NT4.
esther@netscape.com - could you have a look at this, please? :-)

This happens for me as well (on a nightly build from 7-NOV-2000) - all Contacts 
seemed to be imported fine, but no e-mail addresses.

All other fields (which have a counterpart) seem to be moving over fine.

This is on Windows NT, Outlook 98 client, Exchange server



Another problem: although the mozilla UI says "Import" -> "Address Books", it 
seems to only be importing information from the "Contacts" part of Outlook.  
There is also such a thing as a Personal Address Book ("*.pab" file) in 
Outlook. (I believe Contacts are stored in the "*.pst" or what have you.)  
Nevertheless, neither email addresses from the Contacts nor email addresses 
from my Address Book were imported by the utility.

This bug should have a platform of "All" and OS of "All".  Users may want to 
import addresses when running on non-PC platforms or non-WinNT OSs.
Mozilla 8.1 on Windows 2000 with Outlook 2000 shows the same behavior.  All
email addresses are missing.
Problem still exists in build 2001050515 and Outlook 2000.
