How do I import my address book from from Thunderbird to Kmail in Hardy?

[David Fletcher]

I've not been following this thread, but a thought just occurred to me:-

When I wanted to copy the contents of my kaddressbook from my desktop computer 
to my laptop, I did, I think, an export as CSV list from my desktop and 
copied that file to my laptop.

Now, the strangeness. To import that CSV file, you have to specify to 
Kaddressbook the format as you open it. It needs an option selected from a 
drop-down, if I remember correctly, to specify what the headers mean, or 
something like that. If I ran the import facility using Kontact, that drop 
down list was empty, so I was unable to import my CSV file. If I shut down 
Kontact and ran Kaddressbok directly, that drop down list in the import  
facility was populated and had an option that was the obvious choice, and the 
import worked perfectly. I could then shut down Kaddressbook and restart 
Kontact, and all my information was there.

This might be irrelevant to this particular thread, but useful to somebody.
