Importing addresses and mail list in Thunderbird from a database.
I'm a teacher in a high school in Italy and my headmaster asks me to improve our method to send e-mail. We have a database containing the e-mail addresses of our teachers and to which groupings (classes, departments, commissions, etc.) they belong. I'm interested to develop a add-on for Thunderbird for importing the records from database to the address book creating distribution lists also. I ask you for some hint for starting in my job. Best regards, Renzo Venturi

Importing a list of addresses to TB is fairly easy - if - the format of the list is compatible with the structure of the TB address book. So, I think your most productive effort would be directed to translating your database into a form that is easily imported to TB. Besides the built-in import options, there are already add-ons (1, 2) for importing various formats, e.g. csv, vCard, LDIF, mab etc. Perhaps the first thing you could try is to read your database into a spreadsheet, organize the data into a TB-compatible form, export to a comma separated values (csv) file, then import to TB.
