Windows 10: Email contacts not imported correctly for use in Windows 10 Mail

I'm trying to import email contacts from Thunderbird into Outlook and thereby be available in Windows 10 Mail. However all the email addresses were not filled into the proper field - i.e. the email address field. Instead they were filled into the "Contact Imported" field. I exported the file in .csv format from Thunderbird.

It looks like I have to manually enter the email address for every contact *Sad

Any idea how I went wrong?

Email contacts missing

1. If you open Mail app and click the + sign for New mail > type first couple of letters of a contact name > will a list of suggested names appear ?

2. Go to All apps > scroll to P > click People. Is the contact list there ?

 

How do you import contacts into Windows 10 Mail from Thunderbird?


Hi Helmut. My People version and Mail version are the same as yours. My needed accounts are checked.

Just to make it clear: All my contacts are listed but except for my original contacts imported from Yahoo, any other desired contact does not appear as an option when I am trying to send an email to them. I type their name in the "To:" field and their name is not in the list of options.
