How to import contacts app Windows 8 people in Thunderbird?

Need advice on how to import contacts into Thunderbird on WIndows 8 - problem seems to be that the people soft in windows 8 is so dumbed down you can't export contacts her. I also can't find the data files in the C:/users/user directory or any what subdirectory of that.

If the questions are:
1. where are my contacts in Windows 8?
2. How can I get these in csv format for import into Thunderbird?

Thank you very much in advance for your help on this.

I think that you need to access contacts via browser in your hotmail/outlook/live account: click on the "Services more" menu drop-down next to the Outlook button, then click on people, click Manage / export and save the WLMContacts.csv file.

To import into TB, see this post: http://gsfn.us/t/2rr4x

  • BlackBerry smartphone how to import contacts from Yahoo BB contacts?

    How to import contacts from Yahoo BB contacts? I can't believe that it is not possible... Can anyone help?

    Philippe

    Philip, you are welcome.

    I would recommend first to import this file in to your Yahoo contacts on Yahoo mobile web page where are your contacts. These contacts would then sync over to your BlackBerry address book. This is the simplest method.

    Alternatively, you can use a version prior to the BlackBerry Desktop Software v6.1 or lower, to import a CSV file into your BlackBerry.

  • How to import emails in windows 8

    I've recently upgraded to win 8 pro, I was using Windows Mail, how to import my messages? they are available in

    C:\Windows.old\Users\Mail \Local Settings\Microsoft\Windows

    they are all in eml file format.

    I use now the default mail icon and that you have set up the account as IMAP instead of POP3

    It doesn't seem to be a way documented to do so at the moment.  You can use my free ceml program to view the eml (www.oehelp.com/ceml/) files.

    Win8 mail application seems to be strongly limited in its functionality.  There may be a roundabout way to do it.  See this article: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/pop-email-accounts

  • How to import contacts to android

    After I reset my one touch heat e I re - import my contacts from my old nexus of Galaxy, which extends from cyanogen with local contacts.

    I can export the ther contacts in different formats - the last time I did, I does in vcf, csv and xml - but only csv has worked to import.

    but: all metadata was messed up.

    This is my vcard format that I get Android (CSV):

    -no name
    BEGIN:VCARD\nVERSION:2.1\nN:; Test; ------nFN:Test\nTEL; CELL: 000 - 000\nEND:VCARD\n

    -with lastname
    BEGIN:VCARD\nVERSION:2.1\nN:Tester; Test; ------nFN:Test Tester\nTEL; CELL: 000 - 000\nEND:VCARD\n

    Filed any not all names and 'CELL' is not interpreted as a phone number, indead all numbers listed as "NULL" (nice to see on every phone call.)

    also N and FN fields where not interpreted completely or correctly. After import, I had ~ 10% contacts without name field filled in.

    What is the right way to import contacts from an account local android (whithout proprietary components)?

    the problem was:

    Android has stored contacts in vCard 2.1 format.

    by following the instructions here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-manage-and-share-contacts-firefox-os#w_import-from-phone-memory-or-memory-card, I managed to convert contacts to vCard 3.0 format.

    Once the import worked!
