Exporting Contacts From Thunderbird

Export a CSV file of your contacts from Mozilla Thunderbird to import into Constant Contact

To export your contacts from Thunderbird, follow the steps below.  Mozilla Thunderbird is a free, open source, cross-platform e-mail and news client developed by the Mozilla Foundation.

Please keep in mind that depending on your operating system or version the steps may vary. If you're having difficulty make sure you check Thunderbird Support for the most recent help.

1. Within Thunderbird, click the Address Book icon from the navigation bar on the far left. 
2. Hover over the Address book you want to export, click the three dots to open options, and select Export from the dropdown menu. Alternatively, right click on the Address book and click Export from the dropdown menu. 
3. In the popup that appears, choose your Format type (example: Comma Separated, Tab Delimited, vCARD, or LDIF).
4. Choose where you want to save the exported file, give the file a name, and click Save.
5. Import the file into Constant Contact.

If your Thunderbird application looks different, complete the following steps. 

Older Versions: 

1. Within Thunderbird, click Tools > Address Book.
2. Select the desired Address Book.
   Note: Make sure that you are selecting a specific address book. The selection by default is set as "All Address Books" and exporting this way will result in a blank file.

   Note: If you do not see the Export option, click View > Toolbars to turn this option on.
4. Select Comma Separated (*.csv) from the Format drop-down box.
