Description

Describe the bug

I imported a VCF of 1602 entries, nextcloud reported "3 errors" and I got 1599 entries in nextcloud contact.

How to find which 3 entries are missing ?

Steps to reproduce

Import a VCF with some entries which nextcloud is unable to parse

Expected behavior

Nextcloud gives a list of the non imported entries so user can file a proper bug report

Actual behavior

Nextcloud says nothing about which entries it did not import

Research direction

Reproduce the import with a VCF containing entries that cannot be parsed, then inspect how the result reports the import errors. Done means the import result identifies the entries that were not imported, so users can include them in a bug report.
