Thunderbird Community Forum

I prefer to have the Contact Name only display in the TO: field of composed or outgoing emails. I already know their address is correct in my Address Book, why do I need to see it? Presently, the TO: field shows "Name <email address>", as shown in the first uploaded image.

I am a new user to Thunderbird and I have reviwed, and believe, set all the Settings correctly that I could find on the subject (see second uploaded image), but the results do not change.

What am I missing?

Thanks Matt T

Hi there,

I'm wondering how I'm able to open open an address book file (Thunderbird) with a separate program other than the Thunderbird Email Client?

Any Ideas Please?

Edit address book entry displays only DELETE and CANCEL at the bottom of the edited entry. The rightmost border may be obscured as the display does not allow for scroll.

Some of my emails have had the original correspondent's name changed to random one. The email contains the original information. Example: AJ Ket... changed to Kaiser. Please assist. Thank you.

Using the Import function in TBird doesn't work for me - I'm not clued up enough to edit the columns and I don't have all the same columns in my Outlook contacts. The import function says it's done and TBird shows 1972 entries, but nothing is visible. when I looked at the pdf version of the import, I could see the mess of the columns and gave up. PLEASE is there some simple way to do this. I'm trying to let go of Outlook because it doesn't download my gmail anymore. Thank you for any help.

Currently using 140.7.1esr (64-bit) and having problem with more than one contact having same email address. Looking at copy of sent email and address names are same, but floating over each the embedded are the correct names. Do recipients see same address?? Who is receiving the email -- very confused?? Would like to see correct names.

Appreciate the assist and have a great day.

My address books have disappeared from Thunderbird I had the usual Personal and connected lists plus a couple of named lists. I was told that they were probably still available MY Profile and if I asked Thunderbird to import them as an SQlite file I'd get them back. It hasn't worked. How do I do it?

We have a common email address manger@redwoodscholars.uk we recently changed manager George left us and Louise joined us. Louise changed Georges name in the setting page and removed his signature on her laptop. I changed the name in my address book and deleted all my history, Louise sent me an email which showed it was from Louise<manager@ etc> BUT when I clicked on reply, the reply was addressed to George<manager@etc> The mail is managed by web mail on stmp.host.co.uk.

What else do I need to do to correct this?

TB address book has duplicate entries or other entries that will not delete or edit? Tried to even change the name. Close reopen and it reverts back to original. ??? Thanks for the help.

I frequently need to send emails to around 30 recipients. In MS Outlook, it is possible to create a recipient group in the address book. Is there a way to do this in Thunderbird as well?

Thunderbird 170.7 My son's email address has changed. When I write to him, the old email address appears by default. I cannot delete it from the address book, and I can't change it or edit the address book entry. If I am not careful, my message gets sent to the old address. Nothing seems to work in correcting the problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated. John
