Import an Address book FROM Access

I have tried all the methods suggested, including making a text file with comma separated fields, and used the wizard to import it into Thunderbird, but it does not work.

A properly formatted csv file does work, so the problem must be with how you are creating it.
Thunderbird will only import the first 20 columns in a csv file, so you may need to weed out any unused or empty fields.
The fields it recognizes are given here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_address_list_from_text_file
but the site is down right now. :-(

  • I must import my address book from my old Yahoo account? How do I do that?

    I need to import my address book from my old Yahoo account to AOL and
    Windows Live. I cannot find a way to do this.
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == I left Yahoo and went to AOL & Windows live.

    Sorry, Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser, and thus has no use for an Address Book.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

    How do i import my address book from PC to Apple?
    Thanks

    With many applications it's just a matter of dragging the file that has all the addresses into the address book. If for some reason that doesn't work you can use the import function of the address book. If you happen to have them in Outlook here is one way:

    The Address Book app includes an export feature - at the Address Book menu bar go to File > Export and select Address Book Archive. Transfer the exported archive to your MacBook. At the Address Book menu bar on your MacBook, go to File > Import and navigate to the Address Book Archive that was exported from your iBook to select it.

  • Import the address book from entourage to .mail?

    Does anyone know how to import the address book from entourage?
    I have had major problems with entourage - and I have decided to use .mail.
    I have managed to get the email accounts transfered, but I can't figure out how to get the address book.
    This is about 15 years of acquiring address, so, it would be a major thing to manually do this, not to mention that I can't find an address book in .mail
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    AWebdancer

    Thanks - I moved the addresses, it wouldn't let me move the groups, but at least I have the major addresses.
    One thing that would make .mail better is to be able to do a search on it for an old email that you now need. I hope that comes out with the new osx software.
    Thank you so much Alberto.

  • When importing my address book from Outlook why do I have multiple entries for the same contact?

    I have an address book and it contains one list in Outlook. I just downloaded Thunderbird and imported my address book. The address book and one list imported very easily but there are anywhere from 3-5 entries for each person in my contacts. If I delete the extras they are removed from my list as well. Why are there multiple listings for each contact and how can I remove the duplicates without losing my list entries?

    as I was looking thru pictures in my finder I noticed there were several copies of the same pictures I had taken yesterday. I just went thru all Seven copies of the pictures (accidental pics of my hands and the desk etc) and right clicked and moved  them to trash, then I thought I'd look it up when I realized its not just these pics, but very many had een stored in groups of three or four.
    1. Why is that?
    Depends on where you saw them - If they were in the iPhoto library iPHoto has either two or three different versions (no duplicates) or each photos in its library - this is not optional and can not be changed  --  If they were not in the iPhoto library then you can do what you please with them and they have nothing to do with iPhoto - iPhoto is only involved with the photos in its library
    2. Why is it advised to NEVER make changes to the structure or contents of iPhoto in Finder?
    (as quoted Below)
    "I would suggest using one of the proven safe programs - if you are going to manually remove them be sure to remember that you NEVER make any chnages to the structure or contents of the iPhoto library using the finder - only make changes using iPhoto"
    Very simple - if you do you will destroy your iPhoto library and have to start over losing all work you have done in iPhoto - The iPHoto library is a SQLite database and there are NO user servicable parts in the iPhoto library and any changes made using teh finder will corrupt the database and cause dataloss
    Is that a good enopugh reason for you?
    So if these photos were in the iPhoto library when you
    I just went thru all Seven copies of the pictures (accidental pics of my hands and the desk etc) and right clicked and moved  them to trash,
    You destroyed your iPhoto library and will either have to restore your backup from before you did this. put everything back EXACTLY like it was before or start over

  • I cannot import my address book from outlook express to my I pad, have tried the I tunes route but it still has not appeared. My address book from my mobile has appeared though.

    New I pad

    You have the Windows Contacts address book selected under the Info tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes?
    If so, any error message provided when syncing?
    The only way your address book from your mobile appeared is if you are syncing contacts over the air with an email account on your mobile that supports this and accessing the email account on your iPad.

  • Can I import my address book from a web based program

    I have aspire hosting and cant import my address book. I have to many contacts to do this individually. It did import my emails and folders, but not my contact list.

    Most email providers have an export function and it would export the address book. You will have to get those instructions from your provider.
    In Thunderbird the Import option is on the menu bar in the address book under Tools.
    Here are instructions for Yahoo but they should be similar for most providers.
