I have recently installed CardBook to be used as my primary address book and I would like to import the existing address book data from Thunderbird. Any help appreciated. Thanks

Is there someplace that provides information on the usage of CardBook?

There is no "import", it uses the same data source.

I am doing something wrong. If CardBook uses the same data source, (Thunderbird Address Book) then the information would be the same. Much of the TB data is missing when it is displayed in CardBook. Yesterday when I originally set it up, everything looked OK but now things are missing. Perhaps I did not save the file correctly. Is there someplace that provides information on the usage of CardBook?
