I recently installed Thunderbird on my Android pad where all my email contacts came in fine. However, I just went to my Windows 10 laptop where I've previously used Thunderbird and my contacts are missing. How do I get them back to my laptop?

I run TBD 140.8.0 esr (64 bit) under Debian 12 Linux. Until recently I could automatically enter a special address from the pertaining addressbook, this does not work anymore. helpfiles do not show a solution thus I am here.

The addressbook is full of addresses however I have to transfer a special address via past and copy into the addressfield of the mail I want to send.

Thanks for a quick answer Jörg Kampmann

I would glad donate to TB Mozilla IF it would work the way it is supposed to. I tried for 3 hours to create a MAILING LIST nut to no avail. The instructions make no sense.

Also in my Address book that I imported, phone numbers show up under the heading "email addresses...and I have email showing up at all.

I'm using a 2 year old Mac running Sonoma 14.7.2. I recently updated to Thunderbird 128.13.0esr. I have a small e-mail address group within address books, created way before my recent Thunderbird update. Now I want to add people to that small group. Having trouble. Don't find any way to "add" to the small e-mail address list. In fact, I can't even type the new ones in there. I was hoping I could either shiftC/shiftV or drag and drop but that didn't work either. (and now, I just noticed that all the addess lists are much shorter than they were before I started trying to add to the small group! So it looks like I've lost a substsntial number of email addresses!! Some time ago when I updated Thunderbird, I lost all my saved mail. I went into Time Machine and went back to the prior Thunderbird and stayed there for a couple of years, afraid to update again until a few days ago. It seemed OK until today when I'm having this address book problem. Maybe I'll have to go back in time again. V.H. DeMarco

Thunderbird still syncs Gmail contacts even though I have no Gmail account in TB. I imported a Vcard into TB and deleted a couple contacts. Went back into Gmail contacts and had to restore them.

Why does this happen?? James

Nachdem mein PC neu installiert wurde musste ich auch alle Programme wieder neu installieren. Leider fehlen bei der Installation von Thunderbird meine vorherigen Email-Adressen, bzw. Adressbuch, und bei Firefox die vorherigen Favoriten. Wie kann ich diese Wiederherstellen? LG 49.0.1 (64-Bit) Neue Funktionen und Änderungen Thunderbird ist aktuell Sie sind derzeit auf dem Update-Kanal release.

Make email addresses easily copyable.

My address book is the foundation of my office.

The email addresses are regularly copied into other programs. Unfortunately, they always appear in this format. Reinhard Gnath <info@r-gnath.de>

It's a lot of work to process the raw addresses. info@r-gnath.de

I would like a copy button for the raw email address, my dears!

The completed project should be published! I have also made a donation. bye bye

As I store all my contacts in a CarDav sync I have no need for a "Personal Address Book". It might even be a problem because accidentily stored addresses there are not synced. The "Delete" on the context menu is grey and cannot be selected. How do I permantely remove "Personal Address Book" from the list of contacts?

I have several email accounts hosted by One.Com. I have NO problems synchronising the emails in Thunderbird with IMAP. However I do not succeed to synchonise the Contacts. The Contacts list for each of these accounts are available through CALDAV. The format of the URL is https://caldav.one.com/addressbooks/users/user@example.com/contacts .

I am running Thunderbird 148.0.1 on Windows 11 and as far as I understand should this version support CALDAV. Thunderbird does not recognise the contacts list when adding the email account. I tried to manually add the address book (remote address book) but I get stuck in the Account Hub. When I enter username and URL the account hub responds with the message "caldav.one.com is known to be incompatible with Thunderbird" (translation from Swedish!). I then also tried with several Add ons without result.

Does someone has a work around?

I have a lot of saved address and want to import them from desktop to mobile. All I can find is instructions to add them to my device phone contacts.

That is a no go. I do not want all those in phone contacts as they are irrelevant to phone and too many and too much clutter.

How do I get those into thunderbird ONLY not into phone's contacts?

If no possible can someone recommend a mobile email client that can do this?

I wish to do a mass import of vcf cards, how? I have a list of VCF cards exported from Outlook that I can import one by one, is there not a way to do a mass import?

I would like to create sending lists (to send the same message to several persons at the same time). That was possible before, but I can't see how to do in the latest version. I have recently bought a new computor.

I am looking of the name of a address book I added. I know the\at the main book is called abook.sqlite. I have other sqlite files called abook-1.sqlite, abook-2.sqlite and abook-3.sqlite. What are these file contain? Also where are the other info like "Notes" stored? Are they also in the abook.sqlite file. I am using a DB browser and i don't see that info in the file.
