Sorry, I'm new to T-bird, and am not a geek. I have tried all kinds of instructions about how to copy windows live mail contact list to import into T-bird. They are not working. I get two error messages.

"An error occurred importing addresses from Text file (LDIF, .tab, .csv, .txt)."

"Error importing address book address book, all addresses may not have been imported."

I would really like to move my address book. WLM is acting up for me and I am liking what I see in T-bird so I really would like to make this work.

Thank you.

Jim

Export the WLM contacts to vCards (.vcf files), merge them into a single .vcf file, then import to TB:

Thanks for your reply, but your solution did not work. I have downloaded T-bird version 78.5.1 on Dec 9, 2020. I am using Windows 10, with the most recent updates. I did an export of the contact list from my Windows Live Mail and saved it as a VCF file (as you suggested )onto a thumb drive, which I then removed from my desk top and plugged into my note book. When I then click on T-bird Tools, I get the Import box. When I select Address Book then Next, the next Import box allows me to select vCard file (.vcf). I then get a "Select address book file" with the name of the file I saved on the thumb drive (it's actually a folder titled "VCF Address Book"). The blank field box at the bottom asks for a file name, which I oblige by filling in "VCF Address Book". The only next option is to click on the "Open" button which results in presenting my whole list of each contact. There are no more option buttons to click on but another "Open" button. When I click on that, nothing happens. Period. I seem to run into stone walls. Exporting and Importing all sounds very straight forward but for some reason does not seem to be working for me. I really want to get this to work so I can switch over to T-bird. Again I like what I'm seeing and am hopeful I can use T-bird without having to manually build my contact list. Hopefully all this info helps you. Thanks.

You can't import a folder of vcf files in one step. TB will only import a single vcf file, but you have to select one in the Open window. Instead of doing this for each file that represents a single contact, it's recommended to merge the vcf files into one vcf file and then import it.

Well, thank you to everyone who tried to help me solve my problem about transferring my contact list from Windows Live Mail to TB. As it turned out, being not a geek (with ALL respect) I wound up building my TB contact list by the old school method, that being copy and paste, copy and paste..... The effort took time, but the result works just fine. So now I can move along and get comfortable using TB as my default email. Thanks to all for making this such a very nice email client.
