Title: PIM Importing/Exporting
Post by: jason123 on October 08, 2004, 03:31:06 pm

Well I think the time has come to migrate from the Sharp ROM to an OpenZaurus Rom.  My question is, is there any way to export data from qtopia desktop or outlook to where i can import it into my PIMs on OPIE?

Umm, how do you mean "export"?

Possibly you mean syncing between Outlook/Qtopia-Desktop and your Z device via Intellisync?

basically, i just need some easy way of getting all my contact info into OPIE's address book -- and I'm using the new version of the Sharp ROM on my SL-5500 -- which uses different communication drivers and all that fun stuff.  I've had difficulty uninstalling the drivers and then reinstalling the old sharp drivers that use tcp/ip to connect.  So i was wondering if there was any manual way to do it.

For Sharp's ROMs I can't tell you.

But if you consider switching to latest OZ-OPIE image, it's easy as 1 - 2 - 3.
As long as you have all your contacts in Outlook, after syncing OPIE will hold a copy of all your contacts as well.

You can use KA/Pi as a mediator.

1) Install KA/Pi
2) Import into KA/Pi from Sharp Adressbook or Outlook.
3) Then backup the Ka/Pi addressbook.
4) Upgrading ROM to Opie,
5) install KA/Pi again
6) export the data from KA/Pi to Opie, or better


!!! keep using KA/Pi with KO/Pi !!! because you won't miss the Opie addressbook.
