What is the easiest method to import the outlook 2003 contacts (adresbook) to Thunderbird which is installed on Ubuntu. (Windows XP + Ubuntu 14.04 installed on same computer)
I'm a bit surprised that even today, this somehow seems to remain kind of a problem. Articles are pointing to complicated procedures, implicating various other programs which should helping in resolving what should be a simple import of the oulook.pst files.
Outlook can export to various type of files. Which format could Thunderbird itself use to import "directly" with some chance of succes ?
I trust that Mozilla is aware of it that it still is a point of concern to users.
Focussing on migration is the first priority after installation.
I found a very good Dutch article about installation
http://support.mozilla.org/nl/kb/thunderbird-installeren-linux.
But about importing from Oulook (2003 or other) , I wasn't able to find some straigthforward guidance for a "easy" and simple import operation, probably because there still isn't one yet.
Thank you.
