Trying to import an AT&T/yahoo address book file into Thunderbird. I cleaned it up in Excel 2010, and saved the file in .csv format.

I aligned the fields correctly in T'Bird.

When I import, the first and last name fields are dropped and the first part of the email address appears as the Name. Appreciate any help - I have done this before with no problems, now ??? I tried tab delimited files with the same errror.

It might be excel is the problem. It was for me so I switched to libreoffice.

It might be that yahoo like Microsoft livemail has more fields than Thunderbird can cope with. (56 IIRC)

Thanks.

After spending a lot more time on this, I found that Thunderbird does import correctly, as determined by going to the individual person's record, however the display that appears when you look at the address book list in Thunderbird shows the first part of the email address (before the @) under name! It doesn't show the other relevant fields so I didn't catch the error. <:(

See image attached, if anyone is interested.

If you add a name manually, it does the same thing.

The field displayed in the display name. While someone at some time has placed the list label of name on it, it is display name.
