more options

How can I create mailing lists and use them. I checked on the internet. In mzl.la/1Go7VOo you describe a possibility which does not work, because File does not have option for New > mailing list. When I originally, years back transferred my address book to Thunderbird I had mailing lists, which were 'erased when Thunderbird synced with my Google gmail account. Please help. I really need to create mailing lists for my research work. Thanks. I will be glad to donate once I get an answer what to do.

Thanks. I found a solution: In my address book I had already mailing lists (groups). They are as well in my Google contact list. Changes I make in Thunderbird are synced with Google. Back to my Thunderbird mailing lists: To create a new mailing list / category: 1. Right click below “All Address Books”. In my case it is my email address. 2. Click Create Category. 3. Fill in name. 4. Click OK – mailing list appears Add names to mailing List / category: 1. Right click on one or several selected names. 2. Open Category. 3. Select mailing list / group. 4. Name(s) appear in list / group. In order to write a letter to all members on the mailing list / category: 1. Right click on Mailing List. 2. Click on Write a New Message – email form with names appears Utz

Hi. I'm using TBird latest version for Linux Mint but all should be the same. On the top menu click Tools then Address Book then New List and the resulting popup should ask for a list name and an area where you can enter multiple recipient email addresses. After it is saved you can then use the name you called it are your send to name. Works very well as I use it all the time. Hope this helps. Its easy.
