Hi! I would like to import an addressbook in CSV format. I exported it from a database and would tweak it manually according to Roundcube's requirements. Simple fields like firstname, surname, name and email would be sufficient. All my attempts failed and Roundcube complaint about wrong format. Could somebody help me please and describe how the CSV should be formatted?
Regards, Jan

normally one in such cases makes two manual entries and exports from the target application to get a impression how the format is

We currently support formats from Thunderbird and Outlook. The csv file should have a header line with field names specified. You can find field names we support in https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/blob/master/program/localization/.... Use right-side labels.

This helps, thanks. For the record, I used the following header line successfully: "First Name","Last Name","Display Name","Primary Email"

Yes, but Roundcube only offers the export in vCard format, not CSV. Not sure how this helps me to figure out the CSV *import* format
ouch - i never needed to export
but why the hell is the same format for import not available to export the data later?

Because no one cared to implement it.

if i implement a import format i implement the export at the same time - that is how i write software
