Q – I have many contacts in my Thunderbird client whom I want to export to my Gmail account due to some business requirements but I am not able to perform the task as I am not aware of the procedure completely. Can anyone please suggest me the simplest method to perform the task?

There is a manual method which you can use to simply move your contacts from Thunderbird to Gmail account. Simply export contacts from Thunderbird in CSV file format and later on import CSV file in Gmail.

I have read the manual method but I found it lengthy. Is there any other safe and reliable method available which I can implement to export Thunderbird Address Book into Gmail?

Yes, here is another method available that will prove to be useful for the users i.e. MAB Converter third-party tool that will help you to export Thunderbird contacts into VCF format without extra efforts so that .vcf file can be easily imported in Gmail account. The software has multiple advanced features that will help you to safely move contacts from Mozilla Thunderbird to Gmail within very less time period.
