importing contacts with categories and notes
I am using Time and Chaos for all my contact and calendar management. I would like to import all the data info into the address book/calendar of Thunderbird. What do I need to do to get all the categories and notes seamlessly into the new thunderbird address book and calendar? Thanks, WA

According to their support site, data can be exported in csv or xls format from the non-free version:

A csv file of contacts or calendar data can be imported to TB.

Ok, meanwhile added Cardbook and it would not let me import vCards into it at all. Anything in particular I have to be aware of? Also I have about 3200 contacts to import - it is nigh impossible to import them one by one - as I don't see the option "select all" Input is as always most appreciated. WA
On the Cardbook tab, click the 3-bar menu icon at the upper left, Address Book, Import contacts from a directory, select the folder with vCards. I tried this with a folder with 2 vCards, but they failed to import.
There is a way to merge multiple vCards into one .vcf file, which can be imported from Tools/Import...Address Books...vCard file (*.vcf)... select the merged file. This works with the built-in TB address book, and might work in Cardbook with 'Import contacts from a file' instead of from a directory.
