Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 5272
Transfer of the OutlookExpress-Addressbook
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:45:41 UTC
According to the Ooo-Help the dropdown list should contain all OE address fields for classing the OE address fields with the predefined Ooo address fields. The field "FAX (private)" seems to be missing whereas there are fields that don't exist in OE, e.g. "user defined" 1-4.
changing component to dba, and QA contact accordingly. Address Book Access is done in dba. Josef, can you please be more specific what you are doing? What drop down list are you talking about? I have an assumption, but it's not really funny guessing what the submitter of a bug meant .... Frank
I'm using the Oo in German. The steps: Open DATEI - DOKUMENTVORLAGE - ADRESSBUCH-QUELLE. There comes a window: Vorlagen: Adressbuch-Zuordnung with Datenquelle -> Adressen and Tabelle -> OE Kontakte Below the "Feldzuordnung" with the fields of the Oo-adressbook. for every field exists a dropdownlist, in which you can select the relevant adressfield of Outlook Express, but not all ... (look first comment) The selection of the OE-adressfields is automatically. A manual selection has no effect in "Datenquellen" selectable with F4. so far my comment, hope you understand it, because my English isn't so good. Josef
Josef, your english is fine :), thanks for contcretizing (does this english word exist?) this. Have to check what "FAX (private)" is expected to be mapped to for OE ....
The status of this issue i still unconfirmed. Are there problems to check this?
CC'ing John Marmion to attract his attention ... Josef: no problems except time .... John: can you comment on this? Frank
Hi Josef, I can confirm that the fax attribute is an issue. Our Address Book attributes are based on the Mozilla/Netscape attributes. We appear to have mapped the Business Fax in Outlook Express to the OOo Fax. Mozilla on the other hand, maps the Home Fax to Fax if an entry exists otherwise it maps the Business Fax to Fax. Unlike Outlook Express, there appears to be no separation of Home Fax and Business Fax. I will investigate to see if this has been raised as an issue in mozilla. In the meantime, as a minimum, I suggest that we default to the same behaviour as mozilla. Let me know if this is acceptable to you. The 4 user defined fields or custom fields as they are known in Mozilla have no mapping currently with Outlook Express.
accepting this as a bug.
thanks for caring for this, John. Removing you from CC, now that I got your attention :) Frank
Hello John, for my work the two fax-fields are important. If there is the option to change this in future, I can (must) accept it. Josef
Josef, I understand from your response that you would like us to support both Business fax and Home fax. Firstly, you need to understand that we access Outlook Express data using the mozilla components. Thus we may need to raise this as an issue with Mozilla in order for this to be fixed. I checked in Mozilla and there are no bugs related to this specific issue but there are bugs calling for better integration between Outlook/Outlook Express and Mozilla. But I will investigate this further. One other minor issue is that Mozilla maps Business Fax to Fax in Outlook and Home Fax to Fax in Outlook Express. OOo consistently maps Business Fax to Fax. And as do we state that this is Fax and not Fax (Home), it would appear that OOo is more correct. Thus it might be more appropriate to mark this as an "Enhancement".
At the moment, we support Outlook/Express though Mozilla. Until Mozilla adds this functionality or we re-design our Outlook/Express to be independent of mozilla, then this will not be fixed. As such, I believe this issue should be correctly categorized as an enhancement.
marking this as accepted. However, I feel that this will not be addressed in the short term.
re-assigning responsibilities. John, thanks a lot for caring for this so far!

mass re-assign of address book integration issues
re-assign to wind
Just same same 4777.
Just same as 4777. I will list the missing field soon.
wind, can we them simply mark this one here as duplicate of issue 4777?
>can we them simply mark this one here as duplicate of issue 4777? Yes,I think we can.After finish works on hands,I can create a table to list all missed fields in all modes(outlook express,outlook OIL,outlook OCL).May be we can resolve them one-off. 4777,5272 and 9160.
change subcomponent to 'none'
Migrate to a new account for security reasons.

Think this issue can be closed. AFAIK OE doesn't exist anymore.
Close this issue please.
