I'm unable to import/export address books
Five years ago I used Thunderbird to create class re-union address books. The procedure was first: create Excel spreadsheet with the following columns First Name, Last Name, first Email, Secondary Email. Second: have Excel create a CSV file. Third: have Thunderbird read the CSV file and create an address book. Fourth: export the created address book to a LDIF file.
This procedure worked very well and the LDIF's were used between senders with no difficultly. Now, move forward to today. The import function doesn't have any means to define the columns of an input file and creates a blank address book, and the export function creates a ZIP file of everything.
Now, 1: is there anyway to define an input file? 2: how can I export a LDIF file?

PLEASE read what I advised: To be specific, click 'addressbook' from menu. Once there, highlight the personal addressbook or whatever addressbook you prefer. Rightclick and the menu option allows creating CSV or LDIF.

The simplest way is to highlight an addressbook, rightclick and select 'export'
david, did you not read the complete question. I can't read a CSV file in, nor can I export it. Using your apparent solution for export still creates an ZIP file and not a LDIF file.
