I can't match field names in Thunderbird 158.0 (64-bit) on Win 11 when importing addresses from Google .csv file. The dropdowns to pick TB fields to match the .csv header fields only show one item, usually (and obviously) the wrong one . For example, Last Name is not matched with Last Name and cannot be changed.

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 have Thunderbird on laptop. I make changes to a contact in the address book and they seem to be made. When I close Thunderbird and restart it, all changes are lost and are back to what the contact information was before. This has to be fixed.

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.

Comment créer une nouvelle liste de contacts de type excel.

Rmq générale ... Thunder évolue et c'est bien. Apparaissent de nouvelles propositions et sous-programmes / nouveaux noms sans les définir préalablement , ce qui suscite la méfiance.

I'm still learning Thunderbird after years of using/supporting Outlook. So far, so good. Today I wanted to create a Mailing List. I found a support article on this dated 2/13/15. It said:

Create a mailing list

   Open the Address Book.
   Select File > New > 'Mailing List'.
   Enter a suitable name for the mailing list.

In version 156.0.1 this doesn't seem correct any more. I've uploaded an image of the menu I get. There doesn't seem to be any Mailing List option. 2015 was a long time ago, so I'm guessing this Article is WAY out of date and Mailing List creation has changed. Any guidance?

At least two of my contacts contain more than one email address, but not all of the email addresses appear in TB; the relevant cards in TB contain some but not all of the addresses in the macOS address book.
