I managed to import all my addresses from my AddressBook on MacOS10.4 into gpe-contacts by selecting-all and exporting as a single vCard. I learned that the default version of vCard 3.0 is not recognized by gpe-contact for multiple addresses. Changing the version to 2.1 under Preferences on the Mac, I was able to read in the vCard with all the contacts. That done, I then tried to import my calendar entries from iCal program into gpe-calendar. The ics file exported from iCal is not recognized, although according to Apple documentation iCal is following a standard format as described here:

Any suggestions on how to get calendar entries from iCal to gpe-calendar?

Many thanks,
