Created several email mailing lists. Stored them in the Personal Address Book (PAB). I'm sorry, but Thunderbird doesn't seem to work like any other email client. How do I address an email using one of those mailing lists in the PAB. Tried typing the whole name of the mailing list in the To: field. Didn't work. I'm not entirely stupid but it doesn't make sense to me.

Mass mailing problems

This is my second query about thunderbird mass mailings. I want to explain exactly what my situation is. I am an historian and a well-published author. Publishing has gone crazy in the last 10-15 years, and as a result, I have had to self-publish two books,. one quite recently. There's a self-publishing network out there, and I was able to purchase an email database covering about 7,000 libraries. The data base is on excel spreadsheets and I had done one mailing with them a couple of years ago, via gmail. However, that gmail acocunt isn't working now, and their support hasn't been able to fix that.

My publishing house domain, mountgreylockbooks.com, has several thunderbird email accounts, and I decided to try one of those. I immediately ran into the 500 a day limit. So I started breaking the sheets down into 500-entry sheets and sending one a day--and for about five days, that worked just fine. In addition, the mailing had a very measurable effect on my amazon ranking for the book. It was going to take a while to reach the whole list, but things seemed to be on track. About 10 per cent of the emails were bouncing back but that was mostly because people had left their jobs and the addresses were no longer valid.

Yesterday, however, when I hit send for the mass mailing, the mailing began coming to a halt almost immediately. I had a long online session with a tech at BigScoots, who host my web site. He couldn't figure out what to do, and suggested I try mail chimp. So I signed up for a one month free account and had a tech on the line there this morning, and it turned out that they would not work for me unless the people on my email list had subscribed to my mailings--which of course they had not. The maling itself isn't spam at all. It just tells them about the availability of a new book and tells them who I am. And let me stress this: if I can get this mailing to work, there won't be any more mailings for years.

So if anyone can help me either with the thunderbird error or with some other solution, I'd be very appreciative. Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I'm used to typing one or two letters into the address bar and then the down arrow to access the same handful of websites every day. A few weeks ago, Firefox started randomly moving these around so that the same letters that have always made it open the same URL now opens a different URL and I have to actually search the suggestions. How can this annoying behaviour be fixed?

(a few months ago, the address bar wouldn't delete entries, but this problem vanished as mysteriously as it appeared)

I don’t understand what Firefox is doing. For example, I used to start typing the first few letters of “weather.com”, which I visit pretty much daily, and it would auto fill “weather.com”. Now it auto fills every time with http://www.weatherbase.com/. I don’t know where that came from. Similarly, I used to type the first few letters of “duckduckgo.com” and it would bring up “duckduckgo.com”. Now it brings up a magnifying glass below the url with “Search with duckduckgo”. I am thinking it might be best if I can start over, i.e. clear out any information it’s saved about where it thinks I want to go, and start remembering the sites I am entering now.

Due to a corporate decision to stop offering email service, and after decades of being a faithful customer, COX dumped me into Yahoo. I was happily running Thunderbird, but now I'm unable to do so with yahoo. All online configuration instructions are out of date. Is there an accurate, up-to-date and step-by-step guide to configure Thunderbird to operate with yahoo email?

Within last 2 to 3 weeks I noticed that when I click Get Messages the momentary line of text at bottom-left typically says "there are no new messages", or the "number of messages" about to be downloaded. (This is not the notification window at lower right.) Recently the number of messages actually received is not always correct. For instance, this morning the message was clearly "downloading messages 3 of 3", but only one appeared as a new, unread message in my inbox. This has occurred several times, sometimes qty is correct, sometimes not. My first question is whether this is a bug in Thunderbird, or something I need to pursue with my email provider? Second question: I am only requesting those for my account, but might the "missing messages" be downloaded for my wife's email?

If missing messages are for my wife how do I fix it so I only download mine? She doesn't have admin rights and I made no changes to our account settings. If missing messages are not hers then I am seriously concerned about this issue.

I have made Firefox my default browser, and set Google as my default search engine.

I'd like to keep it that way, BUT ...

Every morning when I come to work and open my browser and begin to search .. Yahoo comes up .. or Bing ???? I delete them, and again set Google as the default ... BUT FIREFOX CONTINUES TO REVERT TO YAHOO, or BING SEARCH RESULTS  ?!?!?!?!?!?

Even when I deliberately open Google and search in Google .. the results appear and then suddenly, a new window pops up with Yahoo results, covering up the Google results????

How can I make Firefox respond to the default search setting I choose????

This is intolerable. If I can't get ride of Yahoo and Bing and all these other inferior search engines, then I'm going to go back to using Chrome.

My Firefox is the most recent version 126. I am having trouble with pop-ups being blocked. I have added the website to the pop-up exception list. When I go to the site, it shows me the little icon showing I have added exceptions for this site. However; the pop-up still gets blocked.

The site is: https://www.foxit.com/ I try clicking the Log In drop down then Foxit Account. Before this would pop-up the log in screen for the site but since version 125, it does not. I just updated to version 126 to see if that resolved it before creating this post but it didn't. Thus I am here trying to get help.
