Is it possible to import a CSV file into Qtopia to get addresses and calendar data from applications other than Outlook so that I can syn this to my Zaurus?

Are you speaking from experience on this issue?  I have not yet been able to get Yahoo's Intellisync to recognize the Zaurus "conduit."  It will only accept data syncing from Outlook, Lotus, ACT, Palm or Pocket PC.  Unless there is some way to trick it to see the SL conduit, I don't see how this is possible.  Could you please elaborate?  I would really appreciate knowing how to do this.  So far I'm double entering everything in Yahoo and Zaurus, which is really getting ridiculous.

Does anyone else have any ideas how to do this, PLEASE!

Intellisync works for syncing between "conduits", without the need for an application like Outlook.  If you install Sharp's version of Intellisync for Zaurus, then install Yahoo!'s Intellisync, Yahoo!'s Intellisync will recognize the Zaurus conduit and will sync with it (unfortunately, Sharp's version doesn't recognize other conduits).  However,  Intellisync is a Windows product so it doesn't work under Linux 

I don't know of a Linux-based solution for syncing with Yahoo!, since they seem to ignore both Linux and the Zaurus.

Hi, I'm new to Zaurus, but I'm getting on the Linux bandwagon.  I bought the Zaurus because I don't want to buy anymore Microsoft products.  So, that means I don't use MS Outlook.  I prefer to use Yahoo's webmail/calendar/address book, but I also use Mozilla Thunderbird (although it doesn't have a calendar).  Does anyone know how to sync the Zaurus with either of these?  I know Yahoo has Intellisync, but it only works with Outlook, Lotus, & Palm Desktop, as far as I know.  I can't figure out this Qtopia software that came with the Zaurus.  It seems that it's just a substitute for Outlook.  If I could get my addresses and calendar from Yahoo into Qtopia, that would work I guess, but I can't figure out how to do an import into Qtopia.  HELP!
