To import contacts in Thunderbird, go to Tools > Import. The Import dialog will open; choose Address Books and click Next.

Than you, zep. I did that, but the choices that come up on email providers do not include "smart zone" or comcast.net . I have just been using the online service from comcast for my email ; it's called "smart zone" , and this is all very frustrating. I have tried looking it up in the tutorials, but have had no luck with the suggestions. Is this a common problem?
Thanks again, salbwil

Norma, after you posted this I got in touch with her (I caution to publish her name). I was doing some traveling so contact between us was somewhat slow, but I ended up purchasing a very well-rooted 18' Hummel's Sunset. I was hoping to get my hands on a cutting and didn't expect to find something of the maturity available. It was $18.00. A bargain. I would have never found one of this size here and they're going for higher prices elsewhere online, so needless to say I feel very lucky. So thanks, Norma, for locating a source and kindly passing along her information. I received the plant today and it looks great. To those of you who are looking for a HS, I don't know if she has any more larger plants, but she did tell me she sold HS cutting for $0.75. I would assume those are unrooted at such a low, low price. My new Hummel's Sunset has two trunks.(I've included a link with a picture of it). I would like to separate these. They connect right at the soil line. 1) I'm concerned about cutting them in half and letting the 'wounds' callous over, because it's already been bare-root for a week and I'd like to plant it ASAP. 2) I'm concerned about cutting them in half in fear both plants will not heal properly/rot, since this won't be a relatively clean operation like pruning. 3) I've considered leaving all the roots with the dominate trunk, cutting the other half off above the soil line (so I could plant the rooted one immediately), and just trying to root the whacked off trunk in some grit. But I have trouble rooting leaves in this climate and really want to save both trunks. Any help would be very much appreciated! I know this information is all over these forums, and I looked for quite a while, but sometimes the specifics you need are buried in some seemingly unrelated thread. Thanks everyone.

Mikie, Good work. I was just trying to show the original poster how hard it is to find people using their IP. As far as AOL goes according to wikipedia, in 2006 AOL started sending an XFF header along with the their proxy's IP that can definitely identify the orginal ISP's address but most people don't know that. I am physically located in Biloxi, Mississippi on Bellsouth DSL but I opened AOL-7.0 and made my last post. If you run this one through geolocator it should show my actual location. Terry

Ladies, if you save your email addys via an export feature in your mail program, you should also be able to import it again, in to another email program. I have done this, when I went from earthlink to gmail. in gmail is the export opting like this: Export Contacts Export your contacts so you can transfer them to other accounts or save them offline. Who do you want to export? All of my contacts - 755 Only contacts in What format would you like to export to? Google's CSV format (for importing into another Google account). Outlook's CSV format (for importing into Outlook or other applications). vCard format (for importing into Address Book or other applications). I have a folder in mozilla (as that is my browser) where I export all my addresses about once a month. I always overwrite the file that's already there, thus I have the latest and up to datetest (LOL) file for emergencies. In the import option on gmail I have this: Import Contacts We support importing contacts in the CSV file format (Comma Separated Values). For best results, please use a CSV file produced by Outlook, Outlook Express, Yahoo!, or Hotmail. For Apple Address Book, there is a useful utility called "A to G". Please select a file to upload Import Above all, know where you save your address book!!! otherwise, you can't import it in to a new mail program. Another tip: Use a "free mail program", like hotmail, gmail, yahoo etc. With this your mail is web based, and you can pull it up on ANY computer, and you don't have to change addresses when you get a new server. That's my reason to have gmail (main addy) yahoo mail for gardenweb and KT, yahoo mail for cycling... LOL, see where I am going? I have several email addresses, and I use them for different purposes. All are web based and free. Moni

Posted Dec 17, 2022, on the Facebook site We will not be setting up another web site with a shopping cart because it generated more business than I could handle within a reasonable time frame. Please PM queries about availability of varieties as they are posted here. We will be posting more as I have time. You can start an order and add to it, and if you get to $100.00 (before shipping and sales tax) by Dec. 31st and pay for it (PayPal only), you get free shipping, and you can add to the order after that without additional shipping charge. You will be invoiced for the additions on a monthly basis. Orders will ship starting May 1st, but please understand that I cannot ship all orders the same day! We ship bare-root, washed plants mostly; some minis fare better when shipped in their little pots. We have up to 2000 varieties here, too many to post, so if you are looking for something not posted, feel free to ask. In many cases we may only have a few available. PM us to reserve your plant and start an order. 'Pin-Up' is a beautiful, medium-sized sport of 'Kiwi Full Monty'. The leaves have thick substance and hold their color well throughout the season. Lavender flowers on proportionate scapes. 6 available, 2-3 eyes each, for $18.00 plus shipping. Incorrect price has been changed. I cannot find a phone number, but I will pm them for one.

Hi,
Thank you for the link. However, the set up on "smart zone " is different ( windows 7) and the left hand navigation menu is not there.When I use the drop down menu on the address book, there is no option for exporting OR importing, for that matter. I do so wish there was. It certainly would make things easier. It's as though they don't want you to do anything to the program.

That's all the help I could provide. Not sure why E-Mail is so complicated, moving and address folder should be a simple process, more often it's not though.

salbwil go to the smartzone and click on 'Preferences'. After you click on that the left hand column (where the inbox, etc. was) will have 'Preferences' at the top. Near the bottom you will see 'Address Book'. Click on that and you should see the option to export your address book as a csv file.

I find Comcast "Smart Zone" very difficult. Very. I have never been able to import my address book from Outlook Express nor my contacts from Outlook. So, it isn't just you. I consider myself lucky that I can check all of my email addresses using it when away from home.

I just did a test. I have a fairly new comcast account but I don't use their smartzone email. I use Thunderbird and have my comcast, gmail and hotmail accounts in Thunderbird. I also have outlook on my computer but have never used it. The test was this. I exported my Thunderbird address book to a csv (comma seperated values) file. I then imported it into the smartzone using the method I posted above (preferences then click on 'address book' in the preferences column) that worked so I exported them from there and imported them into my gmail account. It worked with no problem at all and I have a fairly large address book.
