Installed Win 7. I saved outlook exp, to external HD. I'm having a problem transferring address book to Thunderbird. Tried importing address BK , failed.
Before installing win 7, I copied outlook express address book to external drive. I tried to import the address book to TB but that didn't work. I cut and pasted the address book to notepad. It's listed as a cvs file. I tried hitting the start button and opening the contact folder but I don't get the option to select export, I also tried cut and past from notepad but don't get the option to select paste in the TB add.

To import a csv file, select Tools/Import...Address books...Text file... Files of type: comma separated, then select the csv file. Try to match the csv fields with the TB address book fields, or edit the csv in a spreadsheet first to make it compatible with the TB format.

Thanks for you help. I rearranged the address and was able to import without any problems. Thanks again.
