I wasn't talking about syncing the address book, just exporting and importing the contents. I have done that with Google mail and another on-line email app, without problem. However, as I mentioned, the N800 email app gets the fields mixed up. One thing that really bugs me, are those who say it's only an internet tablet, as though that somehow excuses incompatibility. Well, it's not just an internet tablet. It's a Linux computer and should be able to do anything any other Linux box does, bearing in mind the hardware limitations. Limited hardware doesn't cause problems with importing files. That cause by whoever wrote the app not paying attention to what they're doing. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
