I'm experiencing a very strange error with regards to importing contacts that were exported from the Postbox 3 address book.
The CSV file itself is fine - everything maps out nicely in Excel, but Outlook cannot read it. Well, it does read it, but shows the output as per the screens below.
Using Sublime Text, I have tried saving in every encoding format available, from ANSI to UTF-8, but still no luck. Have also tried re-saving the CSV file using Excel.
Here's a screenshot of the problem I'm facing:
What's interesting, is every time I save it, the results differ. Sometimes it shows Chinese/Japanese characters, and other times it shows only half the email address. If I navigate through the records using the Previous and Next buttons, it starts merging the second half of the first email address in the list somewhere within the second and nth addresses thereafter.
I'm using Outlook 2013 and Postbox 3.0.8.
Does anybody have an idea of what could be going on, and how I can fix this?
Update - 10 Sept. 2014
Per Raystafarian's suggestion, I tried saving the file as a CSV in MS-DOS format, but no luck. Initially, the file was saving with semi-colons instead of commas, so I changed my Region settings to use commas instead. But that just takes me back to square-one, albeit with no Chinese/Japanese gibberish:
