+ 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.
