Importing VCards to Kontacts

[LuigiCalamar]

I am using Kontacts on my laptop as my ‘master’ contact source.

However - when I import a .vcf file into Kontacts - the email addresses are NOT importing.

I am using a vcard v4.0 format - and the importing file looks like this:

ITEM4.EMAIL;PREF=1:xxx
ITEM6.EMAIL;PREF=2:xxx

Did you have a question?

DOH…

When I import a .vcf (v4.0) card into Kontacts - none of my emails are importing… often I have several email address but NONE are… is there a way to configure kontacts cards with multiple emails and configure the import to handle them?

(the .vcf rows look like:
ITEM4.EMAIL;PREF=1:email…
ITEM5.EMAIL;PREF=2:email1@…
ITEM6.EMAIL;PREF=3:email2@…

Tip: No need to remove the template, it’s hidden. You typed your message in between the <!-- part, so it did not appear. Fixed it for you.

ITEM6.EMAIL;PREF=2:xxx

Where do you get this? It should be EMAIL and not ITEM4.EMAIL. See: RFC 6350: vCard Format Specification

Probably Apple’s own implementation?

Yup - I editted out the ITEMx.EMAIL to EMAIL…

That fixed the issue

The .vcf file was an export from my android contacts…

• however - when I did a full export (of all contacts) - the .vcf file was correct… when I shared an individual contact - it hat that ITEMx incorrectly…
