Export email addresses to thunderbird address book

I have Macbook pro. When using it in the PC mode I find that using Thunderbird for my email works well.
How can I get the contacts/addresses from Apple Mail over to the Thunderbird email? I lose my sync via iCloud but if I
could copy them over it would cut down on the upkeep.

Wow. Do you really have Firefox 3.0b5? It's ancient. You should update Firefox by downloading the current version from http://mozilla.org/firefox and running the installer.
Firefox doesn't have an address book - it's a Web browser. You'll need to visit the support site for whatever e-mail application you are using. If it's Mozilla Thunderbird, visit http://support.mozillamessaging.com/

How do I add more than 5 phone numbers and two emails to a contact in Thunderbird address book?

I have just started using TB 31.4 and am planning to move contacts (about 1400 from Outlook) into the TB Address Book. Many of my contacts have multiple email addresses, more than five telephone numbers, and more than two street addresses.
In doing a small import test I noticed that TB only has space for five telephone numbers and two email addresses, two street addresses. Is there a way to add more so that I do not lose this data on the import?
Is there a way to rename telephone number fields (as almost no one has a pager anymore)?
Can you create a third street address location?
I understand the use of custom fields but that seems less than satisfactory method.

There is an addon called 'MorefunctionsForAddressBook'. See link below.
* https://freeshell.de/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html
scroll down to the bottom to see the download link, which looks like this;
'''Download MoreFunctionsForAddressBook - 0.7.1 version (TB 3.0 or higher)'''
Download .xpi file to desktop or downloads file.
'''How to install addon:'''
In Thunderbird
* 'Tools' > 'Add-ons' OR 'Menu Icon' > 'Add-ons'
* Click on the gear wheel icon and select 'Install addon from file'
* locate the addon .xpi file you downloaded and click on 'Open'.
* Once installed it will appear in the list of Addon Extensions.
* You will need to restart Thunderbird.
This addon offers more fields etc and much more eg; importing etc.

Claws-Mail - Importing Thunderbird Address Book

I am trying to import my Thunderbird address book into claws-mail, using the csv2addressbook.pl script provided by claws mail. However, the script fails with the error message:
ERROR:
Invalid field count!
Problem with your exported CSV file
The problem seems to be caused by the fields listed in the csv file
First Name,Last Name,Display Name,Nickname,Primary Email,Secondary Email,Screen Name,Work Phone,Home Phone,Fax Number,Pager Number,Mobile Number,Home Address,Home Address 2,Home City,Home County,Home Post Code,Home Country,Work Address,Work Address 2,Work City,Work County,Work Post Code,Work Country,Job Title,Department,Organisation,Web Page 1,Web Page 2,Birth Year,Birth Month,Birth Day,Custom 1,Custom 2,Custom 3,Custom 4,Notes,
being different from those in the script
'First Name','Last Name','Display Name','Nickname','Primary Email','Secondary Email','Work Phone','Home Phone','Fax Number','Pager Number','Mobile Number','Home Address','Home Address 2','Home City','Home State','Home ZipCode','Home Country','Work Address','Work Address 2','Work City','Work State','Work ZipCode','Work Country','Job Title','Department','Organization','Web Page 1','Web Page 2','Birth Year','Birth Month','Birth Day','Custom 1','Custom 2','Custom 3','Custom 4','Notes','junk'
I have tried changing them in both files so that they match, but I still get the same problem. I'm afraid that is the limit of my programming knowledge, so I would very much appreciate some help with this.
Thanks in advance

I have not tried this yet because I might have an overlap of contact information from thunderbird with that that is in adress book. Will it mix them up?

Hard to explain, exporting email addresses from computer and I need from this point onwards new addresses to be logged somewhere else.

I will be exporting all my email addresses to set up a retail customer mailing list. Because we are a business I have suppliers emails along with a trade customers who I will have to manually find and remove from my mailing list.
Then in 1 months time I hope to export the next lot of addresses (and every month after) to add to my retail mailing list. I would ideally like this export to only include the addresses that were accumulated since the last export. This is so that I do not have to go through the whole lot all over again.
Is this something that is possible? Can anyone suggest how I can manage this or is there another way to achieve what I want that I am not thinking of?
Many thanks
Ricky

lots of ways.
How about creating a retail and other address books in Thunderbird. Then you only have to export the one you want each time, or use the mail merge add-on to actually send messages from Thunderbird.
Given all email address add options include ac choice of address book, except the automated collections of outgoing addresses not in the address books,
I suggest you get into the habit of adding new addresses to the correct address book before them mail is sent.
Given that the whiter list for images is no longer the address book from Version 31 on you should be able to manage your address book fairly simply.

How can I get my thunderbird address book to show up in alphabetical order by surname?

When entering my email addresses in the address book they do not show up in alphabetical order by surname. What do I do to get it to do so?

I have this same problem, but my Address Book doesn't stay sorted. I have to sort it on "Email" address first, then sort it on "Email". Then, and only then, can I find an email address. I have to do this EVERY time I send an email. After I return to Thunderbird, the email addresses are jumbled again.

Possible to do one-time import of Thunderbird address book?

From reading the past 18 months worth of postings, I realize that iPhone communication with Thunderbird is very bad, and it seems to be impossible to sync the Thunderbird address book to the iPhone contacts.
But even if I can't keep them synced, is there a way to do a one-time import of the address book into my iPhone contacts? I can export the address book as a csv text file if that helps. I hate the thought of having to type in all the people in the address book manually, since I have about 100 of them.

I am afraid I do not quite understand what you mean (I am not overly confident about the workings of computers).
Data Acquisition 101. It takes time to take data. YOU told the sound card to acquire data at ~22kS/s. YOU asked for 100k samples each loop iteration. Therefore YOU asked for 4.5 seconds worth of data each loop iteration. If you want the iterations to go faster, you need to either 1) increase the sample rate and/or 2) decrease the number of samples you acquire with each read.

How can I set the program to automaticaly send recieved email addresses to my address book?

As the question asks, how can I set the program to automatically add new email address from messages to my address book. Other email programs can be set up to do this. If this can't be done in Firefox, why not. It's the best email program otherwise.

First off Firefox is an Internet browser and does not deal with email addresses or have an address book to add them to. Secondly I cannot think of a good reason to add the address of each piece of spam to the Thunderbird address book.
There are addons that will pick out addresses from incoming email and add them to the Thunderbird address book. I suggest you search through the add on list for one that fits your needs.

Export email addresses from Mail?

Is there any way to export email addresses from Mail into a CSV file? I know I can push it to Address Book then export but that mixes all the exports in with my existing addresses.

If you know SQL, you could export out of the previous recipients database file inside your user/Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder. It's a sqlite3 database.

Exporting Email Address Question (for Mailchimp purposes)

Hello. I'm preparing an email campaign and am having trouble with the following. How do I get the email addresses from a SPECIFIC FOLDER in Mail (i have many) to export either to Address Book (into an SPECIFIC GROUP) or to a file of some sort that can later be imported into Chimpmail. I know about the window>previous recepient way, but that only offers to put all the names and email addresses in my entire IN BOX (over a dozen folders) into my ALL MY CONTACTS in address book (which I don't want, I would like to direct the exported email addresses (from a specific folder in Mail) into a specific group in Address Book.
Thank you, Marcos

No there is no option as you mentioned. But what you can do is setting a "Reply to" for all the messages that you reply for your work email. To do so -
Go to Email Settings icon on your device
Login using the user name and password (if already set by you)
Under Services click on Email Account
Under your @blackberry.bet ID click Edit
Type in your work email ID in the Reply To field

How can I export email addresses from apple mail?

How can I export email addresses from Apple Mail?
Just to be CRISTAL CLEAR please don't reply with export instructions from the address book.....not interested in this.
I have customers that fill-out a request form online, then the data is sent to our database on our server, and another copy is sent to my email account. The server database got corrupted and is now lost. The only data left are in my email app called APPLE MAIL. I have created Filtered Folders so the data is just in one Folder, not mixed with all other emails. Is there a way to export the email names & addresses from APPLE MAIL to a CVS file or Excel file?
Again this is not a question related to Apple Address Book. This is ONLY for Apple MAIL exporting!
Thanks

There is a collection of AppleScripts called Mail Scripts you can download at this link.
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
The script to use from the collection of scripts is Add Addresses (Mail) which adds addresses found in the selected messages (in the header fields "From", "To", "Cc", and "Bcc") to the Address Book. This is much more flexible than the "Add Sender to Address Book" available in Mail and provides a convenient way for creating mailing lists.

I want to use a Thunderbird address book folder to mail merge into MS Word letter [name, address]. How to?

I recently migrated from Outlook 2010 to Thunderbird. I have contact folders. I publish a newsletter in MS Word. I want to mail merge my newsletter with now a specific contact database [folder] in the Thunderbird address book. So my question is, how to do this?

Unfortunately, the tight and smooth integration you have experienced between Outlook and Word is due to those two products having come from the same Office stable and having been designed from the outset for such interoperability. With Thunderbird coming from a third party author, there's not much incentive for Microsoft to support or encourage interchange of data between Office components and Thunderbird.
If you have Outlook and Word, what advantages do you anticipate in using Thunderbird? (Personally, I do exactly the same because I dislike Outlook and its Ribbon in particular). But I don't have much call for the sort of task you are attempting.
The long and short of it is that you'll probably have to export your TB Address Book to a format that your Word mail merge can use. Since I haven't tried this for myself in a long time, I don't know what Word can use. I'd hope that CSV would fit the bill.
If you are thinking about moving away from Microsoft Office, then you might look at Libre Office, which can, IIRC, use a data source such as Thunderbird's address book as a mail merge source. But this alone may not be a very good reason to move away from tools you know. :-S

How do I use more than one email address via Thunderbird

I have had only one AOL email address that I used via Thunderbird.
I have now created another AOL email address for a specific reason.
How do I start to use this new email address via Thunderbird?

Hi christ1,
Thanks for your interest and reply.
The new email address belongs to a new account and is not an alias (is alias a link to an already existing email address?) I read about alias for first time yesterday.
I would like to be able to access both my normal and my new email addresses via Thunderbird. Is there a "toggle between facility" or something like that. Simplest is best for me.
Thanks again,
Colin

HOW TO SEND PERSONALIZED EMAILS (WITH SAME MESSAGE) TO ALL ADDRESSES IN THE ADDRESS BOOK - WITH RECIPIENTS SEEING ONLY THEIR NAME BUT NOT WHO ELSE IS GETTING IT

HOW TO SEND PERSONALIZED EMAILS WITH THE SAME MESSAGE, BUT WITH THE INDIVIDUAL RECIPIENT'S NAME... (OR NAME AND THE EMAIL ADDRESS) TO ALL ADDRESSES IN THE ADDRESS BOOK - WITH RECIPIENTS SEEING ONLY THEIR OWN NAME WITHIN THE BODY OF THE MESSAGE TO THEM ?
ALSO, HOW TO ELIMINATE ALL THE OTHER NAMES FROM THE LIST - SO THEY CAN NOT SEE WHO ELSE IS ON THE MAILING LIST, AND WHO ELSE IS GETTING THE SAME MESSAGE?

In the csv file, the column headers must match the the special references in curly brackets.
So you either change the column header in .csv file or the bit in the curly brackets in the Template email.
To change the column header:
In the example shown below, I wanted to use the first two columns
'First Name', 'Last Name' note the exact spelling.
I also wanted the email address which was in a column called 'Primary Email'.
To make it easier for me, I copied the Primary Email column and inserted it into the third column position and then changed the column header name from 'Primary Email' to 'Email'. (This meant I still had the original column header just in case). see image below.
But you could just change the column header name from 'Primary Email' to 'Email' without moving column about - up to you.
At this point check that all the contacts do have a valid email address.
then save the file.
If you do not want to edit the .csv file, then you need to edit the template email.
eg: {{First Name}} {{Last Name}} <{{Email}}>
change to : {{First Name}} {{Last Name}} <{{Primary Email}}>
If still having an issue, please post two images.
One image needs to show the row of column headers used in .csv file.
The other image needs to show the Template email, so I can see how you have used the curly brackets.
