Libre Office and Email Association

[JBH1876]

Have one p/c with Windows 8. Disgusting. Cannot send email when using Libre Office. Need to create an association with both so they can get along and play together. Nonsense. Do I need to run as administrator. Use Libre with Win 7 on other p/c no problem. Thanks

You need a local email app versus reading emails on line... How are you accessing emails now?

ATT Yahoo....

You'll have to install an app like Win Live Mail or Thunderbird.

Well I use Thunderbird on one win 7 p/c. Just find it strange it does not work with ATT Yahoo.. Thanks

If it is working on one computer, you could check the settings on that one and make sure the other one has the same settings.

When you say ATT Yahoo - you're accessing the email via a Web Browser aren't you? If so, that's why you need an email application.

I installed Thunderbird yesterday.. seems to be working so far..... Thanks

How do you import email address saved within Yahoo mail?

[JBH1876]

Having ATT I cannot find email addresses. Cannot navigate... being just me to locate. I can open, read reply and send... is there an address book anywhere???????? I applaud the moron or morons who developed this junk..

I did check the yahoo importing suggestion. In the upper hand corner there is no mail options..

[JBH1876]

I did do the following with NO result. Choosing NEXT then Browse brings up nothing..... In Yahoo's Address Book, select "Import/Export" from the functions on the right hand side of the screen, just below the search box. Scroll down to the Export section and select the Netscape Address Book "Export Now" button. Save the "LDIF" file to your local drive. Now in Thunderbird, open the Address Book and use menu path Tools->Import and select "Address Books" then click on "Next". Select "Text file (LDIF, .tab, .csv, .txt)" and then click on "Next". Browse to and select the downloaded file "Yahoo_ab.ldif" and click on the "Open" button. Click on Finish and you will have a new Address Book in your list, Yahoo_ab.

To move the contact information from the import to your Personal Address Book, click on the name Yahoo_ab, then click on any name in the right hand list pane, press Ctrl-A (or menu path Edit->Select All) then drag and drop the names from Yahoo_ab to the Personal Address Book name. You can then delete Yahoo_ab is you wish.

So you successfully exported the address book, but Thunderbird can't find the file to import it? Thunderbird can import many different types of files. Try using a different format. Also, use Windows Explorer to verify that the file you exported to actually exists and is not smaller than a few bytes.
