Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: thunderbird
Trying to import some GMail contacts into Thunderbird address book,
GMail has two different CSV export formats ("Google", "Outlook", and a
VCard format; but the import-wizard does not have an option for VCF
files). The import-wizard comes up with the 37 columns that Thunderbird
uses on the left-hand side (I would expect them on the right, since data
is coming into the application). One of those CSV formats has 55
columns; the other has 88. What happened to all my other columns?
Also, every time I click on a column to move it up or down, that
deselects it ... I have to click again to select it again.
Finally, a feature to concatenate multiple fields in the imported
contacts-list into one field in the Thunderbird address book, especially
the "Notes" or "custom 1" field, would be nice. See also bug 600755.
I guess I could work around this by doing the column-shuffling in a
spreadsheet; or if there was a VCF to LDIF converter somewhere, that
might help too.
