No support it seems... - Version: 2.3, 9/7/2009 12:54PM PST

After spending roughly $80USD on this then emailing their support twice and posting here over a two week period, I still get no response from this company.
It's a shame, really, as it seems they have the only real solution for transferring contacts from ACT! databases.
But since that doesn't seem to work anyway, I can't recommend them to anyone.
Save you money, don't purchase from them.

AB Transfer's Act! import - Version: 2.2, 6/9/2007 04:16PM PST

Since we received several questions regarding Act! support, I'd like to clarify the situation:
Act! import is no longer part of the current releases of AB Transfer. In case you order the 'Act! edition' of AB Transfer, you'll actually receive licenses, which are applicable to these AB Transfer editions:
- AB Transfer for Act! - release 1.6.x
- AB Transfer - current (base) edition
Thus, although you need to use release 1.6.x to import Act!, you additionally are welcome to use the current release too.
The current edition e.g. allows to scan Apple.Mail mailboxes and retrieve TO, FROM and BCC address fields of email messages. This scanning process is very fast.
Additionally, please note, that we never asked our AB Transfer customers to buy upgrades. In fact, we ship free upgrades since ever.

- AB Transfer's Act! import
They acknowledged the problem, and offered a full refund - so no money wasted there. I give them four stars because the ultimately did the right thing - it just took awhile.
Thanks!
