Importing Contacts from Mozilla Thunderbird
 

Hi
have just installed Office 2007. This the first time ever that I have used a
MicroSoft Office suite and first time I've used a MicroSoft email. I've
imported my contacts from my mobile phone using Nokia Sync and it went easy
as. But I didn't have email addresses on my phone, only phone numbers. I
need to import my email contacts from Mozilla Thunderbird but can find no
information on how to do this. I have three questions ...
firstly, is there a mechanism to do this
secondly, if there is, will the new list seamlessly integrate with the list
already created or will it create a duplicate list?
Thirdly, would I be better of just opening up both programs and labouriosly
cutting and pasting?

Export the TBird addressbook as a csv file. Import that into Outlook. It
should integrate seamlessly....

1. In Thunderbird, open Addressbook.
Do Tools-Export. Under "Save as type" choose csv.
Give the file a name, and export it to a location where you can find it!

2. In Outlook do File-Import and Export.
Choose Import from another program or file - next
Choose Comma Separated Values (that's what csv stands for) Windows
Browse to where you saved the Thunderbird file.

I spent a goodly chunk of yesterday laboriously doing it one by one
(laughing)))
Sometime in the next day or so I'm going to spend a relatively few minutes
doing my better half's. I was dreading the job ahead, not any more - this
last answer is a ripper, many thanks Gordon.
