Currently, MyAddressBook only supports importing from MyAddressBook version 1.
To import addresses from MyAddressBook version 1, on the "Import Addresses" page, click MyAddressBook Version 1 (MySQL).
Now you are prompted to enter the details of the MySQL database you were using for MyAddressBook version 1. If you don't know these details you should be able to find them in the file config.php in the MyAddressBook version 1 install directory.
Once you have entered the correct details, click Fetch Addresses and you will see a list of all the addresses found in your MyAddressBook version 1 database.
Uncheck any addresses you don't want to import, and then click Import Now.
The new addresses will be added to your address list.
MyAddressBook version 1 was based on a MySQL database. MyAddressBook version 2 uses an LDAP back-end. It provides a facility to import your addresses from the version 1 database. See the Importing from MyAddressBook version 1 section.
