Accidentally deleted saved email contacts from Thunderbird on my Android device. Is there a way to get them back that a novice can understand?

I'm moving. Lost all vendors' contact information phone numbers, email addresses. Sick to my stomach....

Please help if you have the time. So grateful.

I've recently started using Thunderbird in place of Microsoft Outlook. I have also upgraded from Windows 10 to 11. Unfortunately, my mailing groups that I used in Outlook did not transfer as groups. I was able to import my contacts as a .csv file and I have now set these out in an Excel spreadsheet. My contacts are now in alaphabetic order so whilst I have the contact data such as emails, all of my previous mailing groups are now mixed together!

Is there any way that I can select either individal enties on my spreadsheet or maybe multiple entries and import them into a new address book?

Any ideas or experience would be very helpful.

I generally like thunderbird but when I got my win11 machine and installed it there seem to be some glitchy things.. the one I cant seem to work around it adding new contacts.. the screen does not ever add the contact to the book after I click on the add to link.. It also doesn't allow me to move/scroll around to find other links.. I have tried different screen settings, display resolutions, scaling.. nothing changes the way the add contact displays

My Address page for New email Contact has gone outside the screen & I have no SAVE button so I cannot complete and save an email address I have tried to use the Zoom button as I had on Windows 10 -= but doesn't work for me on Win 11 ????????????? Eric

I have an old version of Thunderbird on my former laptop and would like to first export the distribution list an then import the distribution list on my new laptop. How do I do that?

When I go to import address book into Thunderbird, the Outlook radio button is not selectable. The radio button is stuck on "another Thunderbird installation".

I've tried it again and now the radio button is freed but Outlook is no longer an option. So, I don't know where I should import from.

Not sure I have chosen the right category I have bought a new laptop and have set up Thunderbird as much the same as my old laptop, but I have no address book. Opening my old laptop, I tried to export the address book but Export wants to export everything. I can't work out how to select just address book for Export.

Importing a CSV address file does not allow the resulting folder to be accessed. The address names are visible but they cannot be edited. They cannot be used in email addressing as a group. The data is essentially read only.

I want to use Thunderbird for Android and connected my mailbox with imap and smtp. So far so good. But i dont see a adresboek and i dont know where to connect my carddav addressbook. Can you help me?

I have what may be a very simple question. Say I receive an email in which I am one of many people getting the message - as in a message that has gone out to all 10 members of some committee of which I'm a member. I would like to make an entry in my personal address book for the Committee that would include all 10 addresses. Is there an easy way to do this besides (a) individually saving each of the addresses for the Committee members and (b) creating a new address book entry and (c) individually adding each of the 10 committee members? Thanks!

I am trying to export my contacts FROM Thunderbird TO Spectrum email. In Thunderbird, I open my contacts and select my personal address book and click EXPORT. I save the file as vcard to my desktop. I open my Spectrum.net email and click import, select the file and I keep getting an error message saying "we are unable to save your changes, please try again." I contacted Spectrum and they said it was a Thunderbird problem. Can you please help me?
