Your imported messages will appear in the Local Folders account, in a folder called 'Apple Mail Import'.
Importing the OS X address book
Thunderbird will read your OS X address book and display it in the Thunderbird address book window! From the menu bar, open the Window menu and click on Address Book. Your OS X address book will appear in the left pane.
If you want to import it to the Thunderbird address book, just drag and drop entries from the Mac OS X address book folder to the Personal Address Book.
Windows Mail is the default mail client included with Windows Vista.Windows Live Mail is the email client bundled with Windows Live Essentials. Both client programs store emails in the .eml file format. In order to export messages from Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail to Thunderbird, you must export messages from the Windows application and import them into Thunderbird. A similar method is needed to export contacts from Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail to Thunderbird.
Tom and jerry war of the whiskers online. To find the location of the email files in Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail, go to Tools > Options > Advanced > Maintenance > Store Folder.
If you do not see Tools, try File > Options > Mail… > Advanced > Maintenance… instead.
Importing Windows Mail Messages
Importing Windows Mail (.eml files) into Thunderbird is enabled by the third-party add-on ImportExport Tools. Download and install this add-on to transfer messages from Windows Live Mail to Thunderbird.
- Export your messages from Windows Mail in .eml format.
- In Thunderbird, create a folder in 'Local Folders' to hold your imported mail and select it.
- Right click the folder and select ImportExportTools > Import all messages from a directory > also from its subdirectories.
- Navigate to the .eml files folder. The default location for Windows Live mail is C:Users<username>AppDataLocalMicrosoftWindows Live Mail (or Windows Mail).
- Click . Your data will be imported.
Importing Windows Mail Contacts
In order to import Windows contacts into Thunderbird, you must export the contacts to vCard files (.vcf format) and import the files into Thunderbird.
- In Windows Live Mail, open the Contacts and select all the contacts you wish to export.
- Click on Export > Business Card (.VCF).
- Select an empty directory to save these to.
In Thunderbird, install the MoreFunctionsForAddressBook add-on following these instructions.
- Click on .
- Click on the address book you wish to import the contacts into.
- Click Tools > MoreFunctionsForAddressBook > Actions for Contacts > Import vCard / VCF.
- Browse to the folder where you exported your contacts to.
- Select all the contacts you wish to import.
- Click to import all selected contacts.
Alternatively, if this does not work or is not supported in your case, you can try this:
See the Export contacts from Outlook article at Microsoft.com for instructions on how to export contacts in Windows.
After creating the required file, you can import your contacts using the import wizard:
Mozilla Firefox Thunderbird Download
- In Thunderbird, go to Tools > Import….
- Choose Address Books and click .
- Choose Text file (LDIF, .tab, .csv, .txt) and click .
- Choose Comma Separated (or All files) in the drop-down list at the bottom right, browse to the .csv file you just created, select it and click Open.
- Wait for the import to finish and click .
In the Import Address Book window that appears, use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to match the address book fields on the left to the correct data for import on the right, and uncheck items you do not want to import. When you are done, click OK. Ultimate breaks and beats volumes 1 25 download. Your contacts should now be imported and ready for use in Thunderbird.
Note that if you are having problems importing the fields properly (like when all record data to import shows up inside the first field row when inside the Import Address Book window), this is probably a result of an exported .csv file containing semicolons instead of commas, or the other way around. This usually happens because the separator in Windows Regional settings does not match the one for the Thunderbird locale, for instance when you exported a .csv file using an English Windows version and try to import it into a non-English version of Thunderbird. In this case, you should make the list separator match in your Regional settings before exporting the .csv file, or you could edit the already exported .csv file using a text editor and replace all semicolons by commas (or vice versa), and retry the import step.
The normal Thunderbird import process requires that you have Eudora or Outlook installed on your computer. If you do not have them installed, there are alternatives as noted below.
To use Thunderbird's import wizard, you must use an older version of Thunderbird, because the wizard is disabled for Outlook and Eudora in Thunderbird version 38 and newer versions. Install version 31.8, import your data, then upgrade to the latest version of Thunderbird via the built-in update mechanism.
For Eudora, if you have data problems or crashes, try an even older version of Thunderbird and a tool to clean the data. An example of a data cleaning tool for Mac OS is Eudora Mailbox Cleaner.
An alternative to Thunderbird's import wizard is to find a tool to transform your data to mbox format (.mbx), and then use Import Export Tools add-on in Thunderbird to import the mbox files. One such mbox conversion tool for Eudora is Eudora Rescue.
Eudora is not installed
If Eudora is not installed and you want to use the Thunderbird import wizard, you can easily change the Windows registry to point to your Eudora files, then run the import wizard.
- Create a .reg file called eudora.reg containing the following lines. Replace H:SCRATCHEudoradata with the location of your Eudora data. (note the double backslashes and the blank line)
- In a Windows command prompt, run 'regedit /s eudora.reg'.
- Use the Thunderbird import wizard.
The following instructions describe how to import messages and contacts from Evolution.
Importing Evolution Messages
Thunderbird and Evolution use the same file format (called mbox) to store your mails, so its not difficult to import them manually.
- Open Nautilus.
- Open ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local which is where Evolution store your mails.
- Copy all the file without extension (such as Inbox, Outbox,.) into the emplacement used by Thunderbird to store its mail (something like ~/.thunderbird/uk41lql0.default/Mail/Local Folders,where you need to adapt uk41lql0.default to your own installation).
- Launch Thunderbird to check that all your mail have been correctly imported.
Importing Evolution Contacts
- Open your address book in Evolution, right-click on it and choose: Save as vcard… to export it into vCard file format.
- In Thunderbird, open the Tools > Import… menu, select Address Books and then vCard file (.vcf) and select your contact file.
If you are using a web-based application provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to access your email, you probably only need to configure your account information to switch to Thunderbird. See Manual Account Configuration for instructions.
Once you have configured your account in Thunderbird, you should be able to access all your messages (both incoming and sent). However, your address book (contacts), mail filters and other settings will not be automatically transferred to Thunderbird.
Some web-base email applications allow you to export contacts in text or comma-separated formats. Check your ISP's documentation for more information. To import contacts into Thunderbird, select Tools > Import… 2017 hallmark card studio. and follow the instructions on the screen.

MoreFunctionsForAddressBook
This extension for Thunderbird adds to the addressbook the following features:
- makes available from the addressbook all the records of the contacts (ex. address, country);
- adds to the context menu some items to copy quickly the addressbook data
- lets you to edit a contact as new, from the context menu;
- gives the possibility to import and export a single contact or a list;
- gives the possibility to import and export in vCard and vcf format;
- adds an extra tab with the birthday date, the spouse name (from 0.3 version), the last modified date and the category (from the 0.3.5 version);
- possibility to modify the labels of the 4 custom fields of the contact card (from 0.3.1 version) and associate them with vcard fields (from 0.4.0.1 version);
- possibility to import/export the addressbooks in the native format (file mab);
- possibility to recover a corrupted addressbook or deleted contacts (from 0.3.7 version);
- possibility to copy the card data from the contacts panel, with the context menu (from 0.3.7 version);
- possibility to have a fixed width for columns, with a horizontal scrollbar. Note: with this option enabled, the vertical scrollbarcould not work properly and you could be forced to use the mouse wheel or keyboard (from 0.4 version);
- possibility to edit some properties in multiple contacts with just one action (from the context menu or clicking ctrl-0);
- possibility to search contacts also with 'Category, Notes, BirthYear' fields (from 0.4.1 version);
- possibility to associate a photo to contact (from 0.5 version - EXPERIMENTAL);
- option to have phone numbers like 'callto' links (from 0.5 version);
- possibility to link files to the contacts (from 1.0b1 version);
Options available just for TB3 or higher versions:
- added 10 extra custom fields;
- new options to add to the addressbook from the main window the recipients of a message;
- possibility to choose, per identity, addressbooks for addresses autocomplete.
From the 0.3.4 version you can manage the import/export functions also from Tools --> Actions (for contacts, lists, addressbooks).
For import/export you can use a text file, with a own format generated by the extension, with 'thm' extension (for lists) and 'tha' extension (for contacts), or you can use the vCard format (just for contacts).
The vCard format is a standard one and so it's more adapt to exchange informations with others applications; the 'tha' format is more useful if you must copy contacts from Thunderbird to Thunderbird.
The exported file has the name of the list or the contact, but the special characters (for ex. the accented ones) are replaced by the character '+'. Anyway you can have the original name, choosing this option from preferences panel.
Opening a vCard from command line: from 0.5.5.2 version you can open a vCard from command line with the following syntax:
Linux --> thunderbird -vcf <vcf file path>
MacOSX --> thunderbird-bin -vcf <vcf file path>
Windows --> thunderbird.exe -vcf <vcf file path>
vCard AND vcf FILES SUPPORT
from the 0.3.3 version this support gives the following features:
- open a vCard file in the new contact window (choose 'Open vCard' from the context menu)
- import directly one or more vCards or also a vcf file with inside multiple vCards (choose 'Import vCard/vcf' from the context menu or from Tools --> Actions for contacts)
- send directly a contact as vCard attachment (from 0.3.4 version)
- export a contact as vCard (choose 'Export as vCard' from the context menu, after select a contact Tools --> Actions for contacts)
- export all the contacts of an addressbook or a list as vcf file with inside multiple vCards (choose 'Export as vcf' from the context menu or from Tools --> Actions for addressbooks/lists after select an addressbook or a list)
These new features should allow to import/export with Palm Desktop and make easier the import/export of addressbooks from a Thunderbird to another Thunderbird.
From 0.3.6.2 version, there is also an option 'Export as vcf (for Ipod)', that will produce a vcf file with multiple contacts inside, without blank line between them.
The import/export of large vcf files can take also several minutes.
The extension can export in vCard 2.1 and vCard 3.0 (default) format; can import both vCard 2.1 format and vCard 3.0 format.
By default the extension exports using, if necessary, the UTF8 encoding; if you want to import these vCards in programs that don't hanlde correctly this encoding (for ex. some versions of Outlook), you can choose from preferences panel, under 'Format and encoding', the option 'Quoted-Printable and native encoding' (present from 0.5.2.1 version).
From the 0.3.1 version you can modify the labels of the 4 custom fields in the contact card. To do this, you must click on Tools --> Labels for custom fields, in the addressbook window.
You can copy from the context menu the home/work address with the american format, choosing this option from the preferences panel.
Photo support: from 0.5 version the extension supports also - experimentally - photo for each contatct. Photo is associated with contatct first according to email address; if this is missing, according his/her name. For the moment, the extension DOESN'T resize photos, so I suggest you not use photo with high resolution, to avoid that program becomes slow.
Advanced management of 'Category' field:from 0.5.7 version, you can have a new advanced management of the field 'Category'. First of all, there is a list of predefined categories, that can be displayed clicking on the icon near the 'Category' field. Moreover it's possible add/remove/assign one or more categories in collective mode.
If you choose the 'Advanced' view in preferences, you'll have eight separate fields, instead a unique one; these fields can autocomplete the input, based on the categories list predefined by the user.
For the correct working of all these options, it's necessary that categories are separated by the correct separator character (default character for this is the comma).
vCard export and charset: if you don't use the 'Quoted-Printable' format, from the 0.5.8 version it's possible to export contacts as vCard choosing the charset; by default the charset is UTF-8 e this is usually the best choice. Anyway some Microsoft programs are not able to handle this charset properly and this can cause some troubles with some characters. As workaround you can now use the charset WINDOWS-125X (the X stands for a digit from 0 to 8, according to the area).
It's possible to add other charsets for export, modifying the preference 'morecols.vcard_export_charset_list'.
From 0.5.8.1 version it's possible for import to set a specific charset o set it manually, when the charset is not present in vCard code. By default it's used UTF-8 and I suggest to change it just if it doesn't work properly.
It's possible to add other charsets for import, modifying the preference 'morecols.vcard_import_charset_list'.
The extension has the italian, english, slovak, hebrew, czech, french, polish, spanish, dutch, german, portoguese, russian, hungarian, norwegian, ukrainian, chinese , swedish, slovenian, finnish locales. If you are interested in traslating the extension in other languages, please do it through Babelzilla project.
N.B.:
1) TB alpha 3 has added native support for 'Birthday' field. To be sure about compatibility with this, it's important that the birthdate is insert always with numbers only.
2) When you import a contact from a vCard, a generic address is connected by default with the home address. If you prefer to connect it with the work address, select this option in preferences panel.
3) The 10 extra custom fields available in the versions for TB3 or higher are accessible through the property 'MFFABcustomX' (where X is a number from 1 to 10), of nsIAbCard object. N.B.:these extra fields can be used just on local addressbooks, not on remote ones (LDAP).
Choose addressbooks for addresses autocomplete: from 0.6.2 version, you can choose, per identity, addressbooks for addresses autocomplete.
You can do this from Account settings --> Compose and addresses --> Addressbooks for addresses autocomplete --> Edit or, in the compose window, for the current identity,from Tools --> Addresses autocomplete.
This should work also for LDAP addressbooks, but it's been tested just with locale ones.
