There is a tool option for importing from other mail programs and common address book formats, but I've tried it unsuccessfully. I can choose type of material to import as address books, mail, or settings. Then have to choose a program from which to import - Eudora or text file. I tried text file since I don't have Eudora and it acts like it's importing, but then there is no change in thunderbird even after restarting.
My hair has turned more gray and is now beginning to fall out, rather, pulled out. Luann R. D.
