Create and use mailing lists
How can I create mailing lists and use them. I checked on the internet. In mzl.la/1Go7VOo you describe a possibility which does not work, because File does not have option for New > mailing list. When I originally, years back transferred my address book to Thunderbird I had mailing lists, which were 'erased when Thunderbird synced with my Google gmail account. Please help. I really need to create mailing lists for my research work. Thanks

In my address book I had already mailing lists (groups). They are as well in my Google contact list. Changes I make in Thunderbird are synced with Google. Back to my Thunderbird mailing lists: To create a new mailing list / category: 1. Right click below “All Address Books”. In my case it is my email address. 2. Click Create Category. 3. Fill in name. 4. Click OK – mailing list appears Add names to mailing List / category: 1. Right click on one or several selected names. 2. Open Category. 3. Select mailing list / group. 4. Name(s) appear in list / group. In order to write a letter to all members on the mailing list / category: 1. Right click on Mailing List. 2. Click on Write a New Message – email form with names appears

Try the mailmerge addon. It was designed to do just that. And it works. Many options, so you may need to play with it a bit.
Click the New List button in the Address Book tab (see picture). Name the list, then close it so the icon appears under the address book in the left pane. Select the address book on the left, select contacts on the right, and add them to the mailing list by dragging the contacts and dropping them on the list icon.
