A vcard containing a X-CHILDREN field (and probably other Family details) fails. If this vcard is part of a larger import batch, the entire import fails. Worse, this seriously messes up synchronization of contacts using Buteo/SyncML. After sync encountered the troublesome vcard, the rest will fail, causing deletion of those failed contacts on the server by a following sync.

Contents of fail.vcf:

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
REV:20131218T172405Z
N:Bar;Foo;;;
X-CHILDREN:Foba
END:VCARD

Contents of success.vcf:

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
REV:20131218T172405Z
N:Bar;Foo;;;
END:VCARD

Output on Jolla of fail:

[nemo@localhost ~]$ invoker --type=generic vcardconverter ./fail.vcf

will this be included in January Sailfish update? I don't see the roadmap tag here.

thank you

I just try to get my addressbook from my Symbian-Nokia to the Jolla Phone: some issues to be added here - what is not imported is the "NOTE"-field, which is part of the vCard standard part - highly desirable! - The standard vCard X-Extensions should be imported as well: missing and often used: X-SPOUSE

@thomas: actually, the NOTE is imported, it's "just" not visible via the UI :-(
