No, you need to use the Koma-Script letter class. But this class has the same features as the 
g-brief classes and even more.


First, i have to export the .mdp to .txt/csv. Then this file to .adr? 
(–> search suitable tools/converters)


It should be easy to program a csv2adr converter. When this is not possible for you, look at the 
koma-script documentation

ftp://ftp.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script/scrguide.pdf)
what can be done. When you don't find anything there, ask at
http://komascript.de/ (German website)
I'm sure that some of the koma-script users already programmed a converter.
(Googling gives me this converter: http://www.komascript.de/node/94 )


Would be nice, if these infos would be ‚findable‘ in the Wiki.


It is not yet in the Wiki, so please create a Wiki page when you got it working 
for you.


I could post your answers in the Ubuntuusers-Forum.


Sure.

Lyx is a really professional tool to write good things!
Now, i want to write a letter for the members of our charitable
organization.

Is it possible, to write personalized circular letter (german:
Serienbrief), using an existing database (Ms Access, possibly exported
as CSV)?


This is possible. LyX's examples folder contains an example address database and 3 example LyX files 
showing how this is done.
