import_rfc.py does not really work

pixel

Hi@all,

the migration of data to Kopano is a frustrating thing. Theoretically it is supposed to work, but in practice it is always complicated.

The test environment:

WebApp: 3.5.14.2539+111.1
Kopano Core: 8.7.1

the appropriate script from:
https://stash.kopano.io/projects/KC/repos/kopanocore/browse/swig/python/kopano/scripts/import_rfc.py?at=refs%2Fheads%2Fkc-8.7.x

A small address book exported from Thunderbird and Kolab to CVS. The result:

file from Thunderbird *

root@saturn:~/scripts# ./import_rfc.py -u 'i.eckerter' -f contacts ickerter.vcf 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./import_rfc.py", line 30, in <module>
    folder.create_item(vcf=data)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/kopano/folder.py", line 483, in create_item
    item = _item.item(self, eml=eml, ics=ics, vcf=vcf, load=load, loads=loads, attachments=attachments, create=True, save=save)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/kopano/item.py", line 201, in __init__
    vcm.parse_vcf(vcf)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/icalmapi.py", line 211, in parse_vcf
    return _icalmapi.vcftomapi_parse_vcf(self, ical)
MAPI.Struct.MAPIErrorCorruptData: MAPI error 8004011B (MAPI_E_CORRUPT_DATA)

File from Kolab *
No error but only the first contact is imported.

The cross check:

Thunderbird export imported into Kolab -> Works
Kolab export imported into Thunderbird -> Works
Both files imported into Google -> works

In addition I created a VCF export from Google and tried to import it into Kopano as mentioned above. Again, only the first record is imported.

The only way I have found so far is Read the VCF export to Android and write it to Kopano via ActiveSync.

This thing still has room for improvement!
