Edit address book entry displays only DELETE and CANCEL at the bottom of the edited entry. The rightmost border may be obscured as the display does not allow for scroll.

Some of my emails have had the original correspondent's name changed to random one. The email contains the original information. Example: AJ Ket... changed to Kaiser. Please assist. Thank you.

Using the Import function in TBird doesn't work for me - I'm not clued up enough to edit the columns and I don't have all the same columns in my Outlook contacts. The import function says it's done and TBird shows 1972 entries, but nothing is visible. when I looked at the pdf version of the import, I could see the mess of the columns and gave up. PLEASE is there some simple way to do this. I'm trying to let go of Outlook because it doesn't download my gmail anymore. Thank you for any help.

Currently using 140.7.1esr (64-bit) and having problem with more than one contact having same email address. Looking at copy of sent email and address names are same, but floating over each the embedded are the correct names. Do recipients see same address?? Who is receiving the email -- very confused?? Would like to see correct names.

Appreciate the assist and have a great day.

I just had to reinstall Thunderbird on my computer. Somehow after being away for a year and firing up my computer Thunderbird advised best to reinstall. I was able to get some of my contacts but not all. Thought it would be simple to just export my Thunderbird address files from my Windows laptop and import it to my Thunderbird app on my windows computer. Seems obvious and simple but not so for me. The suggested solutions do not work. Am I missing something?

One of my two computers had to be restored from hard drive failure. Thunderbird has been reinstalled, but the previous addressbook is no longer there. How to I restore the contacts of my previous address book. If I have to export the address book from my other computer, can I export only the address book?

Bug?: In Address Book, I create a new Group list. In several of my Contacts, the individual has two different email addresses. I successfully add a person with their Primary email address.

BUT, when I try to add a secondary email (i.e., add the same person a second time but using their non-primary email address), the Group List will re-list the primary address a second time and not accept a secondary email address.

Is there a fix for this?

My address books have disappeared from Thunderbird I had the usual Personal and connected lists plus a couple of named lists. I was told that they were probably still available MY Profile and if I asked Thunderbird to import them as an SQlite file I'd get them back. It hasn't worked. How do I do it?

In sending a new email, when I go to enter the "TO," various email choices pop-up - but not all are correct. How can I add and/or correct those popup choices?

BTW, I have a screenshot. How do I get it here?

I'm getting off a Verizon phone account and want to export my contacts before I do. I use an (old!) iPhone 8 so I can't export using their Verizon Cloud app because my operating system is too old. Is there a way to import into Thunderbird using a USB cord? Or is there a recommended non-evil app that could allow me to do the same with my phone contacts?

I recently migrated from a much older version of Thunderbird where I had been using the Mail Merge add on. In 151/152 most of the variable fields are no longer recognised. Below is the list provided by the developer. I can only get FirstName LastName and PrimaryEmail to merge correctly I troubleshot with Custom1 JobTitle and Nickname to no avail. I've emailed the developer. I suspect Thunderbird has changed the names of the fields in updating the Address Book. Has anyone got a current list of variables for Thunderbird since the Address Book has been rebuilt? Thanks, Greg
