# adgnumailconverter(1)

Convert GNUMail addresses to Addresses format

## NAME

ADGNUMAILCONVERTER - Convert GNUMail addresses to Addresses format

## SYNOPSIS

**adgnumailconverter** \[*filename*\]

## DESCRIPTION

**adgnumailconverter** converts old GNUMail addresses to Addresses format.

The program uses the following heuristic to split GNUMail's name field into Addresses's first/last name fields:

- 1\.

  Name contains a ",": Split it at the "," and put the first part into last name and the second part into first name.

        "Mueller, Fritz" -\> "Mueller", "Fritz"

- 2\.

  Name doesn't contain a ",": Split it at spaces and put the last part into last name and everything else into first name.

        "Johnny B. Goode" -\> "Goode", "Johnny B."

## OPTIONS

adgnumailconverter only takes the filename of the GNUstep address book to convert (usually ~/GNUstep/Library/GNUMail/AddressBook).
