Hi DigNap15, thank you and sorry for the poor user experience of this dialog... You've digged out an age-old sore spot from the internals of Thunderbird... This dialog has been on a nap for the last two decades and it's about time to do something about it. We've started the process of getting the AB in general ready for improvements... between hundreds of other pressing issues! You've been mislead by the poor wording: `Imported data for record: 1` is only about previewing your import, so it has nothing to do with the number of records being imported, which will always be all records. Unfortunately, as you correctly observed, the import is also broken. I'll morph this to improve the label and the title of the dialog, and then we need to ensure having a bug for the import error.

We've started the process of getting the AB in general ready for improvements... between hundreds of other pressing issues! You've been mislead by the poor wording: `Imported data for record: 1` is only about *previewing* the records of your import (to see how they will be imported), so it has nothing to do with the number of records being imported, which will always be all records. Unfortunately, as you correctly observed, the import is also broken. I'll morph this to improve the label and the title of the dialog, and then we need to ensure having a bug for the import error.
