I would be grateful if there is an answer to exporting the Thunderbird address book not in the .csv format into my Win 10 downloads file. I have had a new PC and had a nightmare sorting out my address book. A CSV app restored them but all over the place and have spent hours sorting the name and email addresses. I have tried copy and paste, no luck. Tried all the five 'save as types' but again no real success. I want save them in a simpler fashion. The CS Charset, CS UTF-8, Tab D Charset,Tab UTF-8, V card and LDIF all failed Many thanks Kind regards Alan Jones

I'm not sure of your final goal. If your plan is to move the addressbook from one PC to another, it's easier to just copy the abook.sqlite file from the profile in old PC and store in profile in the new PC. And if your goal is elsewhere, I recommend the Thunderbird extract of CSV as it does a thorough job. Importing from CSV just requires careful alignment of the fields. If you have a spreadsheet app, an option I favor is to upload into the spreadsheet app and delete all columns not needed for your purposes. That simplifies importing wherever you want it.
