I am new to Thunderbird, have 78.3.3 and trying to import address for my old email provider. I have downloaded a CVS file and got an error message. then converted the CVS file to Tab delimited text file and got the same error. I could use some help.

Hello there Rodger.

Since your specified text contains specified characters, the Utf -8 encoding software may see it as not compatible with the program, it ignores it entirely and crashes.

maybe you were also ignored when you crashed other mailboxes!

Hello Rodger.

To perform a workaround use notepad ++ on Windows. Convert input "wester" encoded files to "Utf-8"
