Switching from Outlook to TB [52.5.2]. I used commercial product to export PST to MBOX. I used ImportExportTool to import MBOX into TB.

Now I have a folder in TB Local Folders with Contacts ... all as separate vcards. How do I get these into my Address Book ? I have a folder of Calendar events. How do I get these into the TB Calendar ? I have a folder of [Sticky] Notes. Is there a TB equivalent ?

Multiple vCards can be imported to TB by following these instructions (you appear to already have a folder of vCards):

To import calendar .ics events:

thanks for the quick help.

I appreciate knowing about MFFAB; but i got stuck on the first part of exporting the vcf cards. I select the folder Contacts; then only option for export is ImportExportTool so I select that. I choose Export Folder. It reports success but exports zero records .... nothing there. ?? tried several variations .... succedded in exporting BUT all vcf cards are concatenated into a single file which wont work on the reimport.

suggestions ?

Not sure how you got a Contacts folder in TB, but the method works if the vCards or a single vcf file is in some folder on your computer, outside of TB.

Open the profile folder (Help/Troubleshooting Information, click Open Folder), close TB, and then open the .../Mail/Local Folders subfolder in File Explorer. If there's a Contacts subfolder, open it and copy the vCards or the single vcf file to, say, the Downloads folder. Then, open TB. If the vCards have been joined into one vcf file, Tools/Import...Address books...vCard file... select the vcf file. If you have contacts as separate vCards, use the method with MFFAB.
