Not Able to Add Contacts or Import or Export Email Addresses

[pdbowers]

Help. I use Zimbra in my work environment, and have now downloaded the Zimbra client to my own machine. I love Zimbra, but I am having a couple of problems:
1. When I attempt to add an email address to my empty address book, I click "new contact" to enter that information, and that is as far as it goes.

2. When attempting to import or export my addresses, using a CSV format, I am finding that nothing is happening there, either. Zimbr appears to be importing, but my addresses are not there.

Can someone please help me with this, or tell me what I am doing wrong?.

Thank you for your help.

Welcome to the forums,

If this is Zimbra Desktop are you hitting something like Bug 24558 - Import csv address book fails ?

If this is your own server:
Could you post your zmcontrol -v output? There we're a few CSV issues dealing with formatting on imports that you might be hitting but I need to know your version first.

However exporting is a different animal, try visiting the REST equivalent of your addressbook:
http:// server.domain.com/zimbra/home/username/contacts.csv (or other folder name)
You can also do things like:
https:// server.domain.com/zimbra/home/username/contacts.csv?query="tag:zimbra"

I suspect by your wording that you're talking about Zimbra Desktop so I'm going to move this from installation > desktop section.

The problem I am seeing is with the Desktop version and does appear to be related to the Bugzilla Bug 25099.
Any updates, work arounds or suggestions are helpful.
Thanks,
Pete

I am also having a problem trying to import my .csv address file into the Zimbra address book.

This is Zimbra Desktop.

What can I do?

Thanks,
