Thunderbird will not automatically look for the LDIF file. The addresses are on the new thunderbird email account but didn'[t traqnsfer correctly. I will try the zip and unzip but I think the problem is my new account is Windows 8 and based on research Windows 8 will not work using this method.
I tried this but when I choose address book, text file , than next I come to screen that wants me to enter filename, not ok and finish when done. System is using Windows 8 i that would make a difference
How do you transfer a thunderbird address book from one computer to another computer via email, I tried the steps on this site by popowich but I get to the last step and the LDIF file will not come up
