Hi,
Bit of a long one this... pay attention at the back :-)
I've got he address book in my phone now syncronised with Outlook, what I want to do now, is convert Outlook contacts into something usefull... LDAP! I really don't like using Outlook at the best of times.
Does anyone know a way of converting Outlook exported data, .pst. .csv etc into an ldif file. Ultimately I want to run Openldap on my linux machine, import the data, and hopefully do something fancy with Asterisk PBX. I'm currently bidding for a Cisco 7960 which can use LDAP.
Many Thanks
Chris

I think I'd do this via Mozilla or Thunderbird (better), either of which will find and import an OE address bokk cleanly, and then export in LDIF format. Also, they will happily talk LDAP themselves, and either is a far better mail client than O/OE.

Hi,
Thanks for all your replies. I was only using Outlook as it syuncronisesw with my Nokia phone.
I gave up with the LDAP idea, too damn complicated :-)
I'm using Outport (thanks Martin) to generate vCards, and then using a perl script to query the cards.
Thanks
Chris
