How do I import my Thunderbird CSV Backup Folder to my new installation of Thunderbird In WIN10?
I hate this. I am not tech stupid, but you people make this harder than need be by suggesting fixes that DO NOT APPLY. I am working in WIN10. I am working in (heaven help me) Thunderbird 60.3.2 (32-bit). I had to "Refresh" WIN10 (what a joke that term is). I backed up my contacts/address book. How do I import my WIN10 ADDRESS BOOK from a THUNDERBIRD .CSV FILE to my THUNDERBIRD PROGRAM? NO OUTLOOK CRAP INVOLVED!
And yep. I'm yelling. Everything tells me to use my OUTLOOK file.... ain't got that garbage. Never have, never will. so ready to trade WIN anything for a piece of equipment that has a picture of fruit on the cover. :/

yep, sure is harder than it needs to be... but then you are trying to manage a small part of your Thunderbird profile. It is much easier of you deal with all of it (copy the profile) than the small data involved in the address book.
While it is of no use to you now, it might have relevance into the future. CSV is not the best farmat offered. ldif is. That is beause it is structured and "just works"
Now to you actual problem. I don't know if it applies to current version, but Thunderbird used to export more fields than it could import in the CSV format.
So open your CSV file is spreadsheet and delete the last column. If you used Excel then open the file in notepad and use file save as to change he text format to Unicode. LibreOffice manages to write Unicode without that help. Again, while the export appears to be happy exporting ANSI text. The import appears only to work with Unicode.
