We have had lots of requests to add a MSN, Yahoo and Gmail Importer to phpFoX.
Unfortunately we cant add this feature to the phpFoX Script for several reasons.
One and the main reason is for certain laws we cant break when adding a script that will access another network such as MSN and take data from their network and store it in a phpFoX Supported Database.
Another is scripts like this are very heavy to maintain and would require the price of the phpFoX Portal to go up, as a script like this would have to be updated and re-constructed to fit the MSN and Yahoo protocal to pick up certain date needed to Import their address books.
Now this does not mean you cant have a script like this on your site, you must certainly can. We researched and the best script we found to date that is easy to handle and comes with updates is: http://www.improsys.com/importer.htm
