Importing address book from CSV file into Webmail

Our webmail supports importing contacts into the address book from CSV files. Contacts can be exported from other programs such as MS Outlook or Thunderbird but then need to be reprocessed in order to create a correct CSV file for webmail.
The CSV file must contain in the first row the names of the fields corresponding to the contents of the underlying columns,
these names must be enclosed in quotation marks and separated from each other by commas.
Here is an example:

"First Name", "Last Name", "Display Name", "Primary Email", "Fax Number", "Mobile Number", "Organization"

Then enter the lines containing the details of the contacts you want to import:

"Mario", "Rossi", "Mario Rossi", "mario.rossi@yourdomain", "0574987654 ″," 3357865341 ″, "My Company Spa"
"Mario", "Bianchi", "Mario Bianchi", "mario.bianchi@yourdomain", "", "", "My Company Spa"

If the corresponding field is not defined it must in any case be present but left empty.
Here's what an example CSV file looks like with only the fields that interest us:

"First Name", "Last Name", "Display Name", "Primary Email"
"Mario", "Rossi", "Mario Rossi", "mario.rossi@yourdomain"
"Mario", "Bianchi", "Mario Bianchi", "mario.bianchi@yourdomain"

Once the text file is generated, and saved with the extension .csv, we can access the webmail, go to the Address Book, click on Import, click on Browse to select the generated CSV file and then click on Import. It is also possible to replace the entire address book by ticking “Replace entire address book”.
Before importing, we recommend backing up the address book on the webmail using the "Export" button.
The generation of the CSV file, even starting from an MS Outlook or Thunderbird export, can be done for example with MS Excel or OpenOffice.
It will be sufficient to rename the header fields with those supported by the webmail and save the file as CSV
setting the correct text separators (quotation marks ") and field separators (comma,).
