The adressbook of Thunderbirs has no field to enter/save birthday information of the people listed there. Please add a feature to import birthdays from MS Outlook (and other clients if you want. I just use Outlook 2000.) and add it to the Adress book. It works fine with name and adress information but not with the birthday yet.
It would be fine, if Thunderbird could inform me about my friend's birthdays. I forget them since I don't use Outlook any more.

Maybe I am just to stupid to use the adress book correctly, because there is an add-on which can handle birthdays.
If I just used the adressbook in a wrong way, please write a better description for the documentary. I looked up the german documentary and it doesn't say much about using the adress book :(
