Title:
  Import VCF into Thunderbird

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
  Invalid
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  Import VCF into Thunderbird is a feature which is not built into thunderbird. Looking up "import vcf" in Thunderbird add-ons does not display any results. The only developer who has put together a method to import contacts from VCF is kaosmos with the extension MoreFunctionsForAddressBook
  (formerly MoreColsForAddressBook).

  I do not understand why this is not a feature built into thunderbird.

  The bug I faced when importing a vcf file from kabc
  (kaddressbook/kontact/kmail) is that contacts were transfered over,
  but mailing lists (grouped contacts) were lost. Not sure how to report
  this to "MoreFunctionsForAddressBook" as it is not made available by
  mozilla or through repositories.
