Summary: incorrect importing of contacts in addressbook BIS
Description:
sorry but i think you did't correct fully the bug, 'couse it seems that
you only asign Uid nuber = 1 to all new imported contacts: in this way all
new imported contact will have Uid=1 and when you go viewing addressbook
there will be a contact repeated a lot off time that masqurade the other
imported contacts (i resolve it hand-editing addressbook.xml and writing a
casual Uid number to all new contact imported).

please take a look at OPimRecord::setUid. If you setUid(1) an new UID will
be generated!
So when you receive a vCard we try to parse it. If it is 0 ( default for
empty ) we will setUid(1) it to generate a new uid.
Checking the sanity of the data may not really belong into the backend. I
maybe wrong.
Will ask eilers...

rm addressbook.xml
and reimport your data and tell me how it does behave with the setUid(1)
patch applied

(without the patch applied)

I beamed over all the addresses from my palm V and had the same problems.

deleting the Uid-entries helped.

~/Applications/addressbook # cat addressbook.xml | sed 's/Uid="0"//' >
addressbook.xml.new

receive a vCard from the PalmV and please either upload it or send it to me
mattzz. Besides that the Issue now known.
OContatc::readVCalendar does not look for the UniqueStrProp in the vCard at
all...
but nowadays we generate a new uid for vCard entries....
