Thunderbird Community Forum

I have tried everything I have found to "move or copy contacts from one address book to another". I can't believe this functionality is NOT present. Really Clunky. Copy & paste functions would be fine. But, does not work. The other methods discussed are very clunky and I could not make them work.

When editing a contact in Address Book, after selecting a time zone from the drop down menu and saving the contact, only the first 7 characters of the time zone string are displayed in the contact view. When reopening the contact for editing, the time zone field is shown as empty again.

I create a new address book in Thunderbird. I add several email addresses to that book. I close Thunderbird at the end of the day. When I open Thunderbird the next day, the new address book has disappeared. Any idea what I am doing wrong, missing?

Thunderbird locked up. Followed forum advice to reload Thunderbird. Identified legacy abook.sqlite and history.sqlite files but these will not import to reloaded Thunderbird. Confirmed these files are not read only. Any advice much appreciated..

I want to sync my Contacts data from Thunderbird email to Zoho. Google advises a two-step approach. 1) export contacts from Thunderbird to computer drive, which I did. 2) import that data into Zoho. The problem is that Thunderbird's zip file it too large; it exceeds 500MB.

Possible solutions: 1) divide the zip file for manageable, multiple imports to Zoho; 2) or can thunderbird export in Zoho's preferred formats (CSV, LDIF, or VCF)? 3) or can the zip file be converted to either of these formats.

I have called Zoho's tech support, but they cannot assist. Now, I am stuck.

Please advise.

I have an address book setup with a number of what I'll call sub books for want of a better name. I used to be able to copy a contact from the address book to a sub book. I have either forgotten how to do that or something may have changed. I tried to drag & drop the address from the main book to the sub book but that doesn't work any longer. What am I missing here?

I have successfully setup and installed Tbird on my new Windows 11 computer. Now all I need is to recover my contacts from the old computer's Acronis 2020 backup. How to do that and/or what specifgic file to search for and recover. I have attached a jpg of the Acronis screen.

I have a contact list of about 90 addresses for a mailout. I want to copy the list to another computer. How can I do this? I've only managed to find how to copy the entire address book.

When I receive an email, all the addresses in the incoming email are added to my address book. As a result I get email addresses added of people I don't even know. I want to stop that.

When trying to view my address book (which I did a few days ago) no address book appears. Instead, I am invited to - Address remote address book - Create a local address book - create a new LDAP Address book

Says 0 address books available. But it was there a few days ago.
