PC Outlook to Address Book to XML and much more
The script listed in step 1 ("pc_outlook_export.txt") has a couple issues which need to be corrected in order to be useful. 1. The script can't handle items in the contacts folder which aren't individual contacts (such as a distribution list). The original submitter almost got this right, when he included this line:
Unfortunately, this check needs to be made before the line:
The way I solved this was by making the check:
and that fixed the script errors which will be otherwise encountered. 2. The output is in French. For English-speakers, "domicile" changes to "Home", "travail" changes to "Work" and "autre" changes to "Other". 3. The default contacts folder is not exported. Instead a sub-folder called "presse archives" (Literal English translation: "Press Files"?) is exported. This is easily addressed by either creating a sub-folder which you copy your contacts into for export and updating the script with the proper name or by modifying the script, which I did. Critique aside, this was a very useful tool, and I thank the contributor for making it available. It saved me lots of headache as I have hundreds of contacts in Outlook which I wanted to export into the Mac OSX Address Book application.
