Import of contacts from SYSTEM address book has munged e-mai

[eddieedwards]

When I try to import contacts from the SYSTEM address book into the personal contacts, the e-mail address is in an unusable format.

Example: "Bob Dobbs /scalix0/cn=Dobbs\,\ Bob"

What gives?

That would be the internal address (x400 I believe). Exchange also does something similar. It is usable in your Scalix used environment. However, if you are synching out contacts, say to a handheld or whatnot, it becomes a hassle, as most would prefer the standard email format address (x@y.z).

So, that is my explanation of it, but I so far don't have an answer on how to go around that to always get the internet email address as opposed to the x400.

it is also confusing to the average user...

So... Is there a way to export these so that handhelds can utilize them?

Another situation, I have a user that has always been in the office and now is moving remotely. I would like to set up IMAP in Outlook and am having a hard time getting a functional contact list exported.
