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 "MoreFunctionsF orAddressBook" as it is not made available by mozilla or through repositories.
