I have ~200 contact emails in my AOL account that I want to import to Tbird. How do I do that?

Access your account from the AOL webmail page, click Contacts in the left pane, then click More/Export, select LDIF format, save the contacts.ldif file.

In TB, Tools/Import...Address Books... Text file... select the contacts.ldif file, and a "contacts" address book will be added to the TB Address Book.

If you run the import from Address Book/Tools/Import, the imported address book will appear empty, but not after you close and re-open Address Book.
