Address Book: Difference between revisions

The good news is that the Thunderbird Address Book importers do a fairly good job of importing the well-documented, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LDAP_Data_Interchange_Format LDIF format]. There also exist a Web-based PHP script to [http://labs.brotherli.ch/vcfconvert/ convert vCards to LDIF format]. I've dome some basic testing exporting vCards from the OS X Address Book, converting them to LDIF, then importing them into Thunderbird, and have not run into any serious problems, though [http://qwiki.qualcomm.com/eudora/Data_Loss_Converting_Address_Book_Data some data are lost along the way.] Thunderbird can also import from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values CSV] format, though this process is not nearly as easy (from the user perspective) as importing from LDIF.
