Been using Outlook, but am having issues. Decided to try TBird. Got the email part set up (far as I can tell). Calendar and Address book are a different story. Calendar: Using Google Calendar as primary calendar. Consists of an appointment, birthday, and holiday calendars. Created a new calendar and entered the URL for my Google Calendar. It showed up in TBird apparently OK. Created ANOTHER calendar and entered URL for Googles stock Holiday calendar. It also seemed to show up OK. Tried to do what I did with those calendars to add my Birthday Calendar, but Google uses data from Google Contacts to create that calendar. Can't figure how to add that data. HELP? Address book: Exported Google Contacts Data to a CSV file. Tried BOTH Outlook CSV and Google CSV exports. NEITHER produced a CSV file ANYWHERE Close to what TBird appeared to want, based on what showed up on the "fields" page that appeared after I chose the CSV filename. Moving data around in a spreadsheet is a Royal pain. Isn't there a Google Contacts CSV export file that more closely approximates the arrangement that TBird WANTS?

Solução escolhida

Add Google Contacts: in Address Book tab, New Address Book, Add CardDAV Address Book, enter the gmail account email, enter the account password in the OAuth window to allow access (if necessary), add Contacts. After that, File/New/Calendar..., On the Network, enter the gmail account email (leave the location box empty), Find Calendars, add the Birthdays calendar.

I have had good success for CSV by first creating an exported CSV from thunderbird, using it as a template. Then adjusting the other CSV file to mirror the first line and then the file imports easily.
