import contacts

This could be a basic question, pardon my ignorance as i am a newbie here. Is there a plugin in market place or is  it part of standard features to allow me import my contacts from Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail and facebook into my dolphin account?

I believe there is a module in the market place. I am so sure I just saw it the other day.

Perhaps this is what you require? Let me know,

the module below will just send an invitation to your address book contacts but not necessarily import them to your contacts/friends list on the site. Ability to update their contact info on the boonex site itself. Almost like the outlook address bok, after i import from my mail/social network sites

I see what you mean, you want an automated upload into your Dolphin site. Then I am not aware of a module that will perform this action but here is another option;

This person does it for a fee;

Maybe this may help.
