Thunderbird ADD ON for Printing Adress Labels
Thomas Schneider
I'm seeking for a Thunderbird Plugin to print Adress Labels out of the
Thunderbird Adress Book.
Any help/advise with the proper URL's will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Thomas Schneider.

The search tool can be found here^1, but I don't think I would do it
that way.
I think I would export the addressbook as a .csv or LDIF depending on
the target application; where the target application would be the
spreadsheet app of an office suite which had some tools for making
address labels out of the spread sheet.
Then I would be able to tweak the appearance of the spreadsheet entries
to fix any kinds of problems which are sure to arise.
Tbird's addressbook output has a 'standard' format which has tons of
(potential) fields shown in this import information.
For example. Open Office has the capacity to import Tbird's addressbook
and work its mailmerge functions, I understand; I've never used that.

I already discovered mail-merge, but was seeking for the functionality
to send letters to all adresses which do have NO e-mail.
I probably will do it the other way around:
Maintaining my own address book, and build a CSV for those adresses
which DO have an e-mail and then import it in Thunderbird.
Anyway, thanks for your advise.
Mike Easter, also thanks!
Thomas.

Please bottom post, thanks.
The best way for me is to create a CSV file and then sort the addresses
however way I want.
There is another way that I am investigating by exporting as a LDIF
file, bring it up in MS Word and then by way of a macro, strip out
everything without the @ sign which will leave just the email addresses.

this was my problem years ago, and for that I wrote an extension to
extract details from address cards to a file for external use.
A short description:

Right now I'm working on it and a modified/extended version of
Duplicated Contact Manager and hope to have that ready as beta soon.
If you are interested to work with my current "ABeXtra.xpi" just drop me
a line to gNeandr at web dot de.
