SeaMonkey Bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687290

exported file in csv format from seamonkey addressbook. cvs file has all entries when exported. Right name, all data and all contacts that existed. 

should export all contacts to the file selected including the new ones that were added since last export of all contacts. 

openSUSE 11.4 with KDE 4.7.1 Release "8"
SeaMonkey Version 2.4
User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:7.0) Gecko/20110912 Firefox/7.0  SeaMonkey/2.4

LibreOffice spreadsheet is 3.4.2 from openSUSE repo.
                        is 3.4.3 from LibreOffice web site.

1. Yesterday(SeaMonkey) I deleted all old version of the exported .csv's of my personal addressbook. I then went to addressbook, personal addressbook, checked new contacts were their, then selected Tools --> Export.

2.Selected the folder to export to, named the file, and changed LDIF to Comma separated. Then Saved the file.

3. opened the file in LibreOffice (3.4.3) spreadsheet, got text inport window for .csv, imported it.  Then did find on the three names. One was there because it was there before upgrades and was just an email address change, but the other two were not there at all, both added after upgrades.

I hate to attach spreadsheet since it has a lot of personal information that I do not have permission to release.
   
Did some additional testing and problems appears to be in the LibreOffice spreadsheet. If I open the .csv with koffice2-kspread or gnumeric the missing contacts are there. If I open it with kwrite they are there. If I try lilberoffice-calc they do not appear. 

Thanks for your help.

Hi Russ,

Thanks for the report.

Recently there was a discussion about the same on the users list.
See subject " Calc row limits error " around 12-10-2011.

(Cannot acces the archives right now - no idea why, but should be here:
listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/
www.mail-archive.com/users@global.libreoffice.org/
 - maybe to slow connection )


Suggestions are for possible errors in formatting.
e.g.
A missing quote for instance as in:
> http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=43731 

But then it is something that Calc refuses and koffice / gnumeric don't .
So in any case interesting to examine.

Could you pls have a look at that possibility?
thanks,
Cor

Hi Cor: Sorry was so long getting back. Was out of town. I did the following:
 1. Deleted all previous .cvs files. 
 2. From Sea Monkey I exported my Personal address book as a .cvs 
 3. Opened in Kspread
 4. Say missing contacts were there. 
 5. saved a a .csv from kspread
 6. Inported this version to Libreoffice Calc
 7. Missing contacts are there.
 8. Then inported into Kmail. Contacts came in but some of them had a comma in the zipcode field between the 98,837  should read 98837. This does not appear to be problem, it appears that field is formatted wrong in Kspread. When I imported it I got all the contacts, including ones kmail does'nt. 

will check on link you provided and post again,

Thanks for your help.

This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.

Looks like this is fixed on 3.5.0 so go ahead and close. A much more critical bug appears in .cvs. I will open new ticket.
