I am writing on behalf of a co-worker who suddenly is unable to put more than one recipient per line when sending mails. For example if she introduces recipient1@whatever.mail & then puts another address, upon sending it & seeing the sent message the To: line will be: "recipient1@whatever.mail recipient2"@whatever.mail Obviously the mail will not be delivered. I've cleaned the address book removing all messed up entries (the program was configured to add new entries automatically, but to no avail. Right now, the only way to send eMails to more than one recipient is to put one address in the To: line & another in the CC line. More than 2 addresses therefore are not possible. The program fails to recognize ; as a separator. The version is 45.0. Many thanks for any help provided.

Thunderbird is designed for 1 contact per address field. I think a comma space might work though I have not tried it.

FYI just because a few address field show does not mean that is all you have. Hit enter after filling one and a new one magically appears.

Many thanks Airmail for your help. I had also already tried the "," as a separator to no avail. As to the second suggestion, yes that is true, but they are limited in number & when you have a few people who you need to send a mail to it also does not solve the issue. I guess the program must be removed & the installed again. Maybe then it will go back to its normal behavior.

It really is designed for one address per line. You can expand the space provided for addresses if you need more. A scroll bar appears if there are more addresses than visible lines.

This behaviour, being intentional, will not magically change if you reinstall the software.
