Transfered addresses from outlook express to thunderbird. Exported using cvs to a floppy and inmmported to thunderbird. In outlook first and last name were on one line. Thunderbird asked for first and last. Could not spearate in transfer program. The address file almost impossible to read. "Regg Keyawa" When Posted to Thunderbird came out "Rkeyawa" Is there an easy fix? It took hours to set up in Thunderbird aligning the information.

Open the CSV into a spreadsheet other than Excel. Libre office is good. Excel writes the wrong type of text, using ASCII instead of UTF-8

I discuss CSV file and Thunderbird using Libre office here http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/importing-csv-files.html but you going to have to manually correct names into two fields, or put up with what you have got.
