vCard or .vcf

Some address book programs use a vCard format, which cannot be imported directly by Thunderbird. You can import both vCard and .vcf using the third-party Thunderbird extension 'MoreFunctionsForAddressBook'.

  • download to desktop or 'downloads' folder on computer.
  • In Thunderbird. 'Tools' > 'Add-ons' to open 'Add-ons manager' in a new tab
  • click on the daisy wheel icon and select 'Install Addon from file
  • locate the .xpi file you downloaded
  • click on Open to install in Thunderbird

Save the vcard / .vcf attachment to eg: desktop

In Thunderbird:

  • open 'Address Book'
  • select the address book you want it to go to
  • 'Tools' > 'morefunctionforAddressBook' > 'Action for contacts' > 'Import vCard/vcf'
  • locate the saved vcard/.vcf file and click on 'Open'

Perfect. Thanks. I had seen the option of that addon but did not get around the install part until you explained it.
