Importing Thunderbird address book into Mail 3.0?

How can I migrate my thunderbird adress book emails in to the mail adress book?

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?

Importing Exchange Address Book Into Mail

So I setup my exchange account without any issues but I'm somewhat struggling to figure out how to import my company (exchange) address book. Can anyone assist?

OK, any Contacts you have on the Exchange Server are now in your Mac's Address Book. Right?
So I think that you are after the "contacts" that are in the Global Address List, which contains all the addresses within you companies domain and which is maintained on the Exchange Server.
From what I know the Global Address List is only available when talking against an Exchange 2007 server.
Apple says:
"Now with Snow Leopard, the Mac has out-of-the-box support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, something even Windows PCs don't have. Instead of using Outlook to access Exchange services such as email, calendar invitations, and Global Address Lists, you’ll use Mail, iCal, and Address Book."

Importing Eudora Address Book into Mail.App on Mountain Lion

HELP - I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion (10.8) and didn't realise this meant that my beloved Eudora died on me!
Undaunted I successfully imported my mailbox files from Eudora into MAIL albeit they need cleaning up.
BUT I cannot find the address items anywhere?!?!??!?!?
I have a MACBOOK PRO that's about 2 years old (2.4 GHz - intel 5 - 4GB RAM) if that makes a difference.
Three questions:
1) Does MAIL use the CONTACTS file on the MAC ???
2) Where the **** are the addresses? I can't see them in my "EUDORA FOLDER" IF I could find them I guess I could have a go at importing them into my CONTACTS.
3) IF sorry WHEN I find the contacts should it carry over group addresses ???
Many Thanks
PC

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

Can I import my address book into Adobe Send?

How do I import my address book into Adobe Send?

Hi propacific,
There is no way to port your address book into Adobe Send, but if you use Send through Adobe Reader, you can access your local address book. And, if you're on Windows, you can use the Outlook plug-in for Adobe Send so you can send directly from Outlook. You can download the plug-in from here: Send Large Files Online - Share, Control, Track & Manage | Adobe Send

Unable to import Mac address book into Thunderbird

I have Address Book on my Mac and am trying to import it into Thunderbird. I have gone to Tools>Import>address books>text file. But when I try to choose Address Book in applications, it is not highlighted , so it is not an option to choose.
I have also tried to export it into Thunderbird: In Address Book file>export>Export group vCard and again, when I go to choose Address Book in applications, it is not highlighted so it is not an option to choose.
I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. Help please.

Close your Thunderbird completely and reopen it, still doesn't work
To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try one of the following:
*Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
*Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.

Importing new Address Book into Address Book but keeping it separate.

I have an existing Address Book on my MacBook Pro and would like to import my office Address Book - BUT keep it as a separate group. The office Address Book has over 1,000 names so it is a lot of work to import it and then, one by one, find, separate and add the names to a New Group. Is there a way to import the new Address Book directly into its own Group?
Both Address Books are Apple.
I understand that the new names will be a part of my existing Address Book when I am in the ALL Group.

Well you are correct - you cannot import into .Mac mail.
What you can do is import your .csv file into Address Book on a Mac and then Sync that Address Book with your .Mac information.
In Address Book the Import function is under the File menu.
To Sync use the .Mac preference pane in System Preferences.

How to Import Outlook Address Book into Mac Address Book?

I will be making an employment change and need to import my pc Outlook addresses into my mac email addresses. After repeated emails to Apple and apple support phone calles no one can help because I am not going from a mac to a mac. Unbelieveable.

Anyway, anyone know how to do to save me having to re-type hundreds of addresses?
Thanx!

You need to export your Outlook contacts into a VCard format.
There are many programs out there that will do this for bulk jobs. But, you can do it for free if you are willing to do it manually.
Select each contact one at a time from Outlook. Then, go up to the menus (I think it's the file menu) and choose export, then choose to export it as a VCard.
I'm not in front of a PC. But, I remember doing it that way for about 80 something cards when I moved from my PC.
Once you have them in a VCard format, you can just drag and drop them into Apple's Address Book.
It takes some time to do it this way if you have a ton of contacts. But, it does work.
I think the PC format might be VCF but it is VCard.
Apple uses a different format of VCard than Microsoft does. So, you won't be able to use Microsoft's Export to export all the cards at one time.
That method will not allow you to import them into Apple's address book since they are different formats.
But, it will work if you export each individual record one at a time, and then drag each one into Apple's Address Book.
Additionally, if you find a web-mail service like GMail or Yahoo, or something like that that can synchronize with both the PC and the Mac, then you could try moving it to one of those services and then to Apple's address book.

Need to import excel address book into google or iphone?

This is my scenario - a very close friend had his 4000+ contact list on Novell Groupwise but was let go from his job, he was able to grab the list and export it to Excel. When I view this list it has all of the info and each column seems correct like Column a has the Name to show, column B is email, Column C is Phone and so on. What is the best way to get this list onto his iPhone?

Save the Excel list as a .csv (comma-separated value) file.
Address Book can import .csv files.
Once the contacts are in Address Book, they can of course be synced to iPhone.
The process is described in more detail if you open the Help file for Address Book and search on "importing." There's a topic called Importing Contacts from Other Applications.
If you are in GMail and you click Contacts, and the More menu, there is an Import command. That, too, imports .csv files, so the same file you exported should work there too. The help text on that page says "...We also support importing vCard from apps like Apple Address Book." Which means you could also start from Address Book and export as vCard instead of CSV.
http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=14024
CSV and vCard are industry standards for contact list exchange, so at least one of these formats will work with almost any mail program anywhere, from Apple Mail to Microsoft Outlook to Yahoo Mail etc. etc.

Whow to import thunderbird address book from pc to tablet nexus7 !!!

there is no indication on the file of tablet or pc to reconnyse the request

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:

How to import groupwise address book

I'm looking for a free way to import groupwise address book into ICloud.

It's not compatible with iCloud.

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
