anyone know how to recover my email contacts in latest version ot TB, theyve dissapeared since using spam aniallater , with is now uninstalled.

i have the same email acct on my other pc , could i recover everything from therte as its intact thanks

also my TB spam filters have now dissapeared [but still seem to be working] but filtering the wrong things. thanks if anyone can help

I recieve email with a LOT of other addresses in the "to" list. how can i copy these addresses into a new contact list without typing each one separately.[which would take a LOT of time]

I have tried to add this address to my address book. Normally, one clicks on the icon and a pop-up appears to modify information and confirm entry into address book. This address always shows up as "not in book," clicking has no apparent effect, until one checks the address book and now duplicates exist.

First image you can see that Freeman is in the address book Second image you can see that Tbird thinks the address is not in the book Third image after I've clicked and no apparent action is taken, a duplicate appears.

When this bug first appeared I had clicked on the icon multiple times, and multiple entries appeared in address book. I deleted them all, tried again, bug still happens.

139.0.2

I hoping to et answer to my issue.

I am running 32 bit version of Thunderbird I believe is 128 on a windows 10 Pro. The problem is the computer address book is completely messed up. I know I can export the distributions list which is well over 100+ in length. Is there way to do this so I can cleanly sort them into example:

Users-Ads Business Partners Professionals

  Chiropractors
  Nurses
  Medical Dr's

I currently have 12 different email addresses that are different businesses The Address Books don't make any sense at all.

So there a way I can go thru Thunderbird Address book or sent emails for email business so I can cleanly sort this out.

The person who set it all up passed away and the computer is owned by my sister who is now running the business.

Trying to figure out a good way to get all this put together where it would make better sense. It is really overwhelming. She only wants to send ads out maybe once a week or 2 maybe even a month.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Also have a complete folder nightmare where inbox and other folders have nested folders as well to sort out.

Appreciate any thoughts on the above and thanks for your time.

I created a Mailing List within an Address Book a year ago. I now need to add some new contacts to the Mailing List . I added the new contacts but could only add them to the Address Book. I now need to copy them from the Address Book to the Mailing List, but can't see how to do so , there seems to be no way to view the two lists side-by-side.

When I am composing I want TB to recognise the different address books I have when I type the destination name(s) in the To: bar. when composing the email. I have several different address books. I could do this in when using W10 but I have just moved to W11 and imported the old address books, I note that on import they have a slightly different directory structure (they are no longer sub-directories.) - they are directories - see images attached (W11...).

Now compare that with the W10 image (file W10...) and note the difference.

There were no instructions about getting W11 into W10 structure and no warning about the consequences of not doing this. Presumably there is a method - but I didn ot find it on the change over.

I cannot just move the directories around in the All Address Books pane which is what I expected to be able to do.

The Capture file shows TB on W10 picking up the RSSNI_LGC address book when I have only typed in RSSN

Please advise as it is currently a pain in the rear.

Best

Windows needed reinstallation and dumped Thunderbird from my desktop. When I reinstalled Thunderbird, my updated address book is GONE. Where do I find it?! Why wasn't it saved under my profile anywhere??

Hi,

I would like to integrate the user's address book (or more specifically the contact details of the current user) into my own (c++) desktop (Windows/MacOS/Linux) application for the user's convenience.

Is this possible at all? If so, where can I start reading to find out how to do this?

(If it's not possible through an API, is the address book file format documented somewhere, so I can read it directly?)

I don't need write access. I just need to be able to read the user's contacts.

Cheers, James

Hi. Every time I send an email, the recipient's address is saved in my collected addresses folder. This means that each new email sent to a known recipient adds another copy of the address (see screenshot). Some addresses have hundreds of copies. How can I get rid of this?

Thanks for any help.

I tried to enter new addresses *.csv via the import function, but I am not getting the desired result. Please provide instructions! The result is in the attachment.

Since I downloaded your program, I no longer have Personal Addresses. Where did they go? I didn't copy any of my addresses to another program, so I can't send any messages to anybody

How do I transfer my email contact list to another person. I knew how with the old Thunderbird, but it doesn't work with the new version.

Thank you,

I HAVE A GMAIL ACCOUNT BUT HAVE NO THING IN THE ADDRESS BOOK BUT MY THUNDERBIRD ACCOUNT HAS AN ADDRESS BOOK THAT I WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO GMAIL. CAN YOU HELP PLEASE? Regards Marie Bush

I recently updated my wife's extremely old Thunderbird version (52.??? or thereabouts) to the latest available version -- 141.0. Her address books vanished. Hoping they are somewhere in the Thunderbird folder waiting for someone in this forum to tell me how to access them. Thanks so much.
