I hope we could find a solution to this.
There was a thread sometime before on this...
www.dmxzone.com/showDetail.asp?TypeId=26&NewsId=4206

I tried to contact George Petrov who was at some point working on an extension I believe but I've had no luck in tracking down a response from him. Maybe someone else could?

well you can export your emails as an .mdb

u tried to export your address book?

ok i need to be more specific...
This is for an ASP based web app.
import name/address lists from such as Outlook, ACT etc into sql server for display in the users contact page.
It could be the user first exports in .csv format.
However there is a utility called Intellisync which does all of this (Yahoo Mail as an example). The goal is to replicate this functionality.

Hi Andrew

Are you after getting this from an Outlook client or from Exchange? If Exchange what version are you running?

No
This is for any client on any system to get their contacts into a web based ASP app.

Hi Andrew

Sorry for the delay getting back to you.

I've not heard of an extension that will build the functionality that you're after, that doesn't mean there isn't one though. I'm sure this is possible, almost anything is, with a fair amount of design and development.

If you're going to tackle this yourself, break it down into little chunks.

Post back if you have any specific questions.

I found... JavaScript seems to call a registry file, so seems to only work on Windows with IE/Outlook 5 or higher. *Taken from CPanel/WHM*

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>function popreg(username) {
if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer" ||
(navigator.platform.indexOf("Windows" + 1) &gt;= 1 ||
(navigator.platform.indexOf("Win32" + 1) &gt;= 1) {
document.write("&lt;font size=-1&gt;&lt;a href='javascript:regpop(";
document.write('"');
document.write(username);
document.write('"');
document.write(";'&gt;";
document.write('Outlook (Express) AutoConfig');
document.write("&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;";
}
}
&lt;/script&gt;

&lt;script&gt;
function regpop(username) {
alert('This will automaticlly install the proper mail setting for the ' + username + ' account into Microsoft (R) Outlook (Express)[tm]. Please close all running copies of Microsoft (R) Outlook (Express)[tm] before going forward! When finished start Microsoft (R) Outlook (Express)[tm] and it should have the ' + username + ' account configured for you.');
alert('If prompted to open or save this file choose "Open this file from its current location."');
alert('When asked if you would like to enter the information into the registry choose "Yes".');
document.location.href="email.reg?acct=" + username;
}</font id=code></pre id=code>

Hope it brings insite to someone who can hook up this request. <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
