-### Importing addresses
-
-#### Well-structured address databases
-
-Some address book applications can export entries as an LDIF file.
-This often means the data is well-structured and easy to feed into the central database.
-
-Import of LDIF files is supported from the following applications:
-
- * Mozilla Thunderbird
-
-If you use a different application and it can export LDIF files, then try if it works.
-Tell us your experiences, so we can (maybe improve the import routines and) add it to this list.
-
-#### Other sources
-
-For applications that cannot export LDIF, first feed the data into an application that does,
-and then import from there.
-
-Here's a possible recipe for a list of addresses stored in an Excel spreadsheet:
-
- 1. Remove noise (eg. non-tabular comments)
- 2. Export as comma-separated file
- * Use "Western european (ISO-8859-1)" as character codepage (not Unicode)
- 3. Open Mozilla Thunderbird, and select "Import..." from the Tools menu
- 4. Import addressbook, choose "Comma Separated" and open the exported data file
- 5. Match Address Book fields with records to import
- * Use "Display Name" as full name, if first and last name was not previously stored separately
- * Use company fields for company info, if each previous record contained both company and contact person info
- * Use custom fields for custom data (avoid reusing standard fields for new purposes!)
- 6. Review the imported data now stored in a new Address Book
- * Re-import if not satisfied: The field matching is remembered from last import
- 7. Edit entries as needed
- * Each personal entry *must* contain both first name and last name
- * Each company-only entry must contain *no* personal data
-
-### Two-way syncronization
