We are preparing to move from our legacy webmail to RoundCube. Our servers are running 0.9.5, on Ubuntu 14.04. I have found an oddity when importing address book entries:
Our old system can export contacts as Outlook 2000 CSV files.
When the CSV is imported to "Personal Addresses" the entries show up, but only the Name is displayed. Clicking on "Edit Contact" shows blank entries.
Personal Addresses added via the "Address Book" page display all fields correctly.
Both kinds of address book entries---imported, and hand entered---are searched when composing messages, and both work, as in the email address is found, and used in the To:, CC:, etc. fields.
Stranger still, when I export these entries the VCARD values are correct, and consistent with the VCARD entries for the hand-entered contacts.
Finally, and strangest, when I delete the entries, and re-import them from the RoundCube VCARD file the originally imported contacts still do not display correctly, while the deleted, and imported hand-entered contacts do display correctly.
I have tried this several times. I also can see no difference in the DB entries for the Contacts, no hidden characters, vertical tabs, nothing out of the ordinary, or different, in the two types of entries.
Ideas?
Minutes after sending the email I finally spotted it: The entries imported from the CSV are of TYPE=MAIN, while those entered via the Address Book editor are of TYPE=HOME. Changing the type and re-importing fixes the display problem.
The question now is, why the different types, and why the display difference?

I think this was fixed in 1.0, but Roundcube still does not support main (preferred) address type. We have a ticket for this.
