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.

This started happening a day or so ago... When I type part of an email address, Tbird shows all email addresses starting with it. Now the length is as long as the screen.. Any ideas? Thanks.

I have just used a saved email address to write an email. When I went to send it the send failed because the from account was an old account I do not use anymore.

How do I change saved email addresses so they do not use the old account.

Why would this happen.

I checked which account I was using at the time and then repeated the process with the same result. I was using my current account.

I just installed Thunderbird 154, but i cannot find the address book. i know it exists as T-bird does preload my addresses when i create a new email. Is there a button that I am not seeing?

Trying to set up a mailing list for emails. Not sure how to set up a group that I can use to list names and emails. Went to help. Instructions said to > open address book > select file > new > mailing list. I went to address book ok but cannot find 'File' there.

Am after assistance in getting mailing list set up.

Thanks

My computer had corrupt files on it, so my computer guy had to reinstall windows 11 & all my other folders to my computer. I re-installed Thunderbird with the new version 154.0 & all of my old emails are there but NO email addresses or contact addresses I had saved in there. Please help! Can I download an older version of Thunderbird 139.0.2 from June 17, 2025 for all of my email addresses to be there & contact addresses?
