 <h2>Importing addressbooks</h2>
-Unfortunately e.g. when migrating from evolution to thunderbird, there is no easy way to import addressbooks into thunderbird. any hints for this task?
+Note: For this to work, you need to have KAddressBook.
+To import address book from evolution 2.4, first select all the contacts by pressing Ctrl+A. This shall select all the contacts. Now, right click and click on Save As VCard. Save the file with a .vcf extension. Open Kaddressbook and click on Import VCF file; select the vcf file you exported. This will move all contacts in KAddressbook. Now, click on export in Kaddressbook and export contacts as ldif file.
+Open TB, select import -> address book -> ldif file. Select the ldif file you exported from KAddressbook and let TB do the magic. Works like a charm.
+Product version:
+Evolution 2.4.1
+Thunderbird 1.0.7
+KDE 3.5.0
+Ubuntu Breezy
