Importing address book to thunderbird

Hi,

It is very easy to import contacts in ms outlook from any other format. Since format of thunderbird is different from ms outlook format. You need to follow these steps.

* Export your contacts from thunderbird to comma separated value in windows.

* Now open Ms Outlook and go to import wizard and select following option.

* Click on Map Custom Fields button.

* Now drag each field manually. All needed fields can be added. When you are done with it, Import wizard will start importing contacts from your thunderbird contact format to ms outlook format.
