Abee (formerly known as Address Book Importer) is a utility to import contacts into Apple's Address Book application on Mac OS X.

Abee works with CSV or tab-delimited files, and gives you complete control over how the import is done. In no time, your hundreds of contacts are stowed away in the Mac OS X central address book, where they can be used by any application.

And if you need to perform an import on a periodic basis, your import mapping can be saved for future uses.

Here are some key features of "Abee":

· Universal Binary.
· Easy user interface reminiscent of Address Book itself.
· Allows to import contacts from tab-delimited files.
· Allows to import contacts from CSV files.
· Support for all fields supported by Address Book since Mac OS X 10.2. Fields added in Mac OS X 10.3 and 10.4 are fully supported. (None were added in 10.5.)
· Specific support for TouchBase Pro users.
· Localized in English, French, German and Dutch. More languages to come.
· Support for unlimited number of fields.
· Implemented notification of updates, at launch or manually.
· Support for partial imports.
· Ability to save and reuse import mappings.
· Support for different file encodings.
· Support for drag and drop.

Limitations:

· The free version can only be used once.
