Hello, I found this article and tried to follow instructions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/switching-thunderbird#w_importing-windows-mail-contacts

All seems to go fine until I get to this step:

Click Tools > MoreFunctionsForAddressBook > Actions for Contacts > Import vCard / VCF.

When I find MoreFunctionsForAddressBook in Tools menu, Actions for Contacts is grayed out. Screenshot attached.

What can I do to try and get this to work properly?

Thank you very much.

Chosen solution

You have All Addresses selected as the target for importing, but All Addresses isn't a true address book - it's just a search of all address books.

Select Personal Address Book and then Actions for contacts will be accessible.
