1. Use Dawn (the Address Book manager) version 5.4 to export Agent's
address book in LDAP/*.LDIF or CSV format. Thunderbird can read
both LDAP/*.LDIF and CSV formats.
2. You can find Dawn (the Address Book manager) here:

3. Dawn (the Address Book manager) needs a one-time configuration to
work with Agent, so it can find Agent's address book.
After installing Dawn, do this:
3.1 Run "Dawn Classic" from the start menu.
3.2 In Dawn, go to "Edit >> Preferences >> Program Preferences"
3.3 Select "Forte Agent" in the left box under "The following will not appear".
3.4 Click the button marked "->" to move Forte Agent to the right box
3.5 An "Open" window will appear
3.6 Navigate to your Agent database, select Agent's address book file "contact.xml"
and click "Open"
3.7 Click "OK" on Dawn's "Preferences" window to save the configuration.
4. To export your Agent address book
4.1 In Dawn, go to "File >> Open >> Open Address Book"
4.2 Select "Forte Agent" from the list, and click 'Next'.
(If you don't see "Forte Agent" listed, you need to do step 3.)
4.3 Go to "File >> Save >> Save as file..."
4.4 Select your file format, which should be one of these two
for Thunderbird to import:
LDAP files *.ldif
Comma Separated Values *.csv
