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 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 bought a new computer. I want to transfer all (a lot) of my Contacts in Thunderbird email. Tried several times. Can't do it. Watched the video. It crashes every time. Please help. Thanks, Wayne [edited email from public forum] @centurytel.net

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.

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. 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.

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

A scammer has gotten into my address book what can I do to stop - there was a way to enter 00000 at the beginning of your address book to stop them from running through it

I've created a number of (corporate) Address Books, each with detailed information (postal addresses, phone numbers, etc). Often, I get a bounce-back message along the lines of '...please contact John Doe at JohnDoe@mail.com or Jane Doe at JohnDoe@mail.com.' I want to be able to select the original Address Book entry, and copy it to a new entry within the same Address Book, where I can then edit the 2 or 3 differences, instead of having to 1.) create it from scratch, or 2.) export, import, edit... Is there a simple way to just copy an entry to a new entry and let me edit it?? (ideally before saving, but, hey, beggars can't be choosers)

I have added a contact on my Iphone. How long will it take to propagate to Thunderbird email on my windows laptop? Is there a way to force the check of updated/added contacts/email addresses?

Hello:

I'd like to sync my address books across several computers and my Android phone.

I don't know about the security of Carddave or Exchange, like, is the traffic encrypted, and is the database at the cloud end encrypted too.

Since I can log on to my Google account, and see and edit my address book, I expect those address are not encrypted.

Rather, I'd like to use my syncing program (Mega) to sync the sqllite files (I guess T-Bird used to call them MAB files) and any other needed files directly.

Question 1) How do I find the name of the address book (abook-n.sqlite-wal) related to the name like "Family Contacts"?

Question 2) What other files will I need to sync? any index files? a master list?

Question 3) If I install Thunderbird for Android, where should I put these files so Android finds them?

Thanks for taking the time to read this and any help you may offer.

Mark.

Good evening! After updating the update to the latest version of Thunderbird, the address book stopped working. Reinstalling the program did not help, rolling back to the previous version - swears that changes in the profile do not allow the application to run. Deleting abook.sqlite, abook.sqlite-wal, and abook.sqlite-shm did not solve the problem. After deleting all the files, logging into the program and trying to create a new address book, nothing happens, only these three new files are created in the profile. The address book is local

I just noticed that a bunch of data from my Cardbook address book is missing. Some contacts are missing. Some "Categories" that I had created in the past few months are missing. I think this may have happened when a new install of Thunderbird happened but I am not sure. I back up my Thunderbird Profiles most days so have those if needed.

How can I get back the data that appears to have disappeared?

I noticed this problem when I had Thunderbird 140.1.1est 32-bit installed. I then installed 141.0 exe (64-bit). (I also tried installing older Thunderbird versions but didn't continue with those when they wanted me to create new profiles) I am using CardBook ver. 100.4 I am running Windows 11 Pro.

I installed the latest version of Thunderbird. It can handle Google contacts without any add-ons, but it doesn't show me contact groups. Is there a way to display them? The CardBook I used before showed them.
