Finally - a tool for exporting Addre Book to Thunderbird (and Gmail)

A wering the prayers of potential Thunderbird switchers everywhere, a wonderful and as-yet u amed individual hasput together a web-based vCard-to-CSV Converter for easily movingyour contacts from Addre Book into either Thunderbird or Gmail. The interface and proce are both convenientlysimple: export your desired group in Addre Book (File > Export vCard) and feed it into this tool. You have three conversion optio : LDIF (which isThunderbird-friendly), CSV and Gmail CSV.

After discovering the joys of Gmail (but not removing Mail.a from my Dock just yet) I'm not that interested in Thunderbird, but I fired it up just to verify that this conversionand import proce is the first I've seen to truly work without a single hangup. The new LDIF file imports just fineinto Thunderbird, and you won't even have to remap any fields.
