Thunderbird Community Forum

I just got Thunderbird and I am slowly getting the hang of it, thanks to members of this support group. Thank you. I cannot find my email addresses for my friends and businesses. I'll be dead in the water if I can't salvage this.

I probably chose the incorrect topic above. My apologies.

I looked at the helps and found the answer to my issue BUT it didn't work.

The issue - I want to copy information from one address book to another book. The help told me to use CTRL then click and drag to copy. I tried but it didn't work. When I click on an address to move or copy it, as soon as I move the cursor a red circle with a diagonal line through it shows and it doesn't move it to the new address book. I am using windows 11 and Tbird 140.7.1. I've done this in the past - years ago - but now I can't figure out how to do it. Earlier in this session I was able to move an address by doing click and drag but I can't even do that now. I also rebooted my computer and tried again with the same results. I'm sure it's OPERATOR ERROR but I don't know what I did or what to do now.

I don't want to manually copy each entry. What do I do?

Thank you for all that you do with this program and all of MOZILLA! I've been using it for years and have only this issue with Tbird and some site don't work well or at all with FIREFOX so I go to Chrome for that specific

Dear Thunderbird team, I am using Thunderbird and Mozilla more than 25 years. It has never happened that after downloading a new version of Thunderbird my address book had disappeared. I will be most grateful if you assist me to restore it the *previous glory*.

Thank you kindly. With much gratitude, Michael.

Hello everyone, does anyone know if it's possible to extract in one or few steps only just the email addresses from all emails copied from external mailbox using IMAP to Thunderbird local folder, of course assuming there is no any Thunderbird address books -> they aren't in any Thunderbird address books. To create a single VCF or CSV file with all this e-mail addresses and then simply import this file with all them addresses to another mailbox etc.

Suddenly today my address books went from alphabetical to totally random listing. I haven't intentionally changed anything. No idea what triggered this change? Help, please.

When I try to edit an address book entry, I get a partial part of entry. I can only see first name and unable to see or edit anything else. Using windows 11, seems to create problems in Thunderbird.

Address book import is not working after I import it. It says I have 516 contacts. All I see are big grey dots but no information inside them.

I'm exporting from Classic Outlook (2016) in .CSV format.

I have just installed Thunderbird for my wife on Fedora. She is struggling because she relies on her program (formerly mac Mail) 'knowing' the addresses of contacts and autosuggesting when she types the first few letters. Obviously with a fresh install of TB, it doesn't 'know' any of her contacts. Is there a way to make it learn from the Sent Items folder? So that it auto adds all addresses she HAS SENT TO (in the past), to her contacts/address book? Thanks

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?

Per un guasto sulla linea Vodafone, il mio PC ha avuto problemi. Ora sono tutti risolti, meno uno. Ho ritrovato tutta la mia posta su Mozzilla Thunderbird, ma non la rubrica. Come posso fare per ritrovare anche la rubrica? Grazie.

I'm helping someone with their Thunderbird. She says her address book is dropping street addresses. We went through and found a number of contacts that she had updated but they now seem to be be simply name and e-mail address. The only thing I found was the majority of addresses are in the "Collected" group if that matters.

Any hints or tips on this?
