Thunderbird Community Forum

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?

My Address Book appears to be old and out of date. There's at least 10 years of emails in there somewhere. Random old emails are there, but what's visibile is not really useful here and now. How can I restore at least some degree of usefulness?

An address book that I was using for years suddenly stopped working. It was called 'nachbarn'. I had to rename it to 'nachbarn@here', and it worked again. This is on Linux, and a week ago I have been using this list with its old name. But in betwen I changed my account from POP3 to IMAP, which may have contributed. Since there are plenty of complaints on the Internet, I'd suggest to change the plausi check for the address field, so that the address must either contain an '@' or be the name of a list or address book?

Thanks a lot!

Needed to edit an address. 2 problems: 1. somehow part of the address appears in the drop-down = home/work/mobile. How do I delete it? 2. edits are not saved (yes I have clicked save). Permissions all seem good.
