BitPim supports all phonebook features except for Mailing List entries. When reading contacts from the phone, BitPim will ignore all Mailing List entries. Similarly, when writing contacts to the phone, BitPim will also ignore all Mailing List entries. Support for Mailing List may be added to a future release as an improvement.
BitPim will set the first number on the list as the Primary number. If a contact has no numbers, then the first email will be set as the Primary. The order of the numbers and emails can be set from the Edit Phonebook Entry dialog.
All recurrent events are open-ended. When viewed or edited from BitPim, the open-ended date would show as '4000-01-01'.
All recurrent events are automatically converted to have an interval of 1 (ie. an every-other-day-event in BitPim becomes an every-day-event in the phone, etc.)
