Can a Palm Desktop Address book be migrated to Thunderbird?
I have a palm desktop running on my computer. It syncs with my Palm Pilot (Yes it is ancient technology but the price is right).
Can I import the address book from the Palm Desktop?
I have a disk from outlook with the same address book but no outlook program. Any workarounds for this?

If you can export the address book as a .csv file then you could import that .csv file into Thunderbird.
- Tools > Import
- Select 'Address Books' and click on Next
- Select ; Text file (LDIF, .tab, .csv, .txt) and click on Next.
- then locate the .csv file and click on Open.
- You will need to map the fields to Thunderbird fields.
If you wish you could open a .csv file using Excel or OpenOffice calc and edit the column headers so they match Thunderbird fields to make it easier when importing. This link will tell you the list of default fields used in Thunderbird.

This works if you copy the address book as a .csv file and save.
