How to move live mail address book to thunderbird

To move your Live Mail address book to Thunderbird, you'll need to export the contacts from Live Mail and then import them into Thunderbird. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you do that:

Exporting contacts from Live Mail:

1. Open Live Mail and go to the "Contacts" folder.
2. Select all the contacts by pressing Ctrl+A.
3. Right-click on the selected contacts and choose "Export" from the context menu.
4. In the "Export Contacts" window, select "Comma Separated Values (CSV)" as the file format.
5. Choose a location to save the file, such as your desktop, and give it a name (e.g., "Live Mail Contacts.csv").
6. Click "Export" to export the contacts.

Importing contacts into Thunderbird:

1. Open Thunderbird and go to the "Tools" menu.
2. Select "Import" from the drop-down menu.
3. In the "Import Wizard" window, select "Address Book" as the type of data to import.
4. Choose the CSV file you exported from Live Mail (e.g., "Live Mail Contacts.csv").
5. Click "Open" to select the file.
6. Thunderbird will import the contacts. You can choose to import them into an existing address book or create a new one.
7. Click "Finish" to complete the import process.

Tips and Variations:

• If you have a large number of contacts, you may want to export them in batches to avoid any issues with the import process.
• If you have custom fields or categories in your Live Mail address book, you may need to create equivalent fields or categories in Thunderbird before importing the contacts.
• If you're using Thunderbird 78 or later, you can also use the "Import" feature in the "Address Book" window to import contacts from a CSV file.
• If you're using a different email client or service, you may need to use a different method to export and import your contacts.
