IContact Suddenly Started Crashing

2009-10-28T15:10:01Z

I have been happily using iContact for several months. Today I ended
up doing 75 MS updates (apparently my Auto Update wasn't). Now every
time I start i Contact it crashes and offers to send the crash data to
MS.

I have uninstalled iContact, rebooted and reinstalled iContact and
it's still crashing.

Do you see a problem with the following scenario?

different, but similar, reasons. For example, the treasure wants to

iContact is now Open Source

2009-04-10T08:26:35Z

Dear iContact User,

I started iContact as a tool to solve a problem I had with Google
contacts and decided to give it away for free so others can benefit
from it as well. During the course of last year, I've been surprised
by the level of support and success this little tool has had. It's
been picked up by a couple of PC magazines as the top 50 downloads of

How about something cool and not tooo obvious like BlackBook for

I really like your program. I now rely on it after cutting my
cellphone plan and using skype. I hope you consider releasing it as
open source. I would definitely help out with coding it.

This program was just what I what looking for, an offline way to view
my gmail contacts. However, I noticed a Vista issue, only the first
and last word of the contact name show. For example, if my gmail
contact is listed as "Billy's Best Tree Service", on my machine
running XP with icontact that's how it looks, but on my Vista machine

As I read the other messages, all my thoughts are there already:

that's my case - the millions using G1 Android phones very soon.
2) Must haves: work off line, show groups,

Re: Offline contact backup

2009-01-19T07:25:21Z

iContact is a more convenient way of accessing your contacts on
Google. It also integrates with other tools like Skype and Google
maps. The offline support requires syncing which is what I have always
wanted to avoid. There are plenty of other tools that allow you to
sync your google contacts. As for backup, you can download the list of

Offline contact backup

2009-01-18T19:56:00Z

Hello, is there an offline support option that is available for
iContact? I don't see the point of only being able to access your
contacts if you have an internet connection. It would be nice if
iContact would backup your contacts offline. If this feature is
currently unavailable, any hope of it being added to a future version?

Great application - a suggested enhancement

2009-01-18T11:28:12Z

First of all, just wanted to say that what you've done with this so
far is very good and I'm quite impressed.
However, whilst having the Google address book available locally is
very useful, without email software integration its not as useful as
it could be.

I really like this app. It is nice for editing my contacts, but for
adding information, there is no options. ie. I add a new contact, all
I can edit is the name. There is no way to add email address, mail
address, phone number, or nothing. Or if I have an existing contact, I
can't add a phone number or email address to it in addition to the

Would be more comfortable if:

creating Groups in iContact

2008-12-29T15:42:31Z

It would be nice to see what groups the contacts are a part of as well
as be able to create new groups in the application... as opposed to
going back to Gmail to create the group and see it's members...

Thank you!! This is a great idea! Will be very handy for me!!!

Re: iContact offline option ??

2008-12-24T09:58:28Z

The offline support is not on the cards at the moment since the main
motivation behind the tool was to avoid problems with synchornizations
(duplicates and the rest).

Thank you for your interest in iContact.

Hi,

I discovered iContact yesterday and it looks like a very useful piece
of software - I'm still investigating. I notice that each time
iContact starts, it downloads/synchronizes my address book from
Google, 50 contacts at a time. If the internet is not available, the
program won't start - is there an option for viewing my address book

If you click the Add New Contact button then you try to edit it but
then cancel instead of save you get an error "object reference not set
to an instance of an object".

great tool! look forward to all the planned improvements.

2008-12-09T17:42:49Z

Awesome app! One thing that I would love to be able to do is search,
and then copy the basic info from a contact to the clipboard, so I
could then paste it into another application (mainly, email).

thoughts?
