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?

{I'm using Linux Mint 22.3, Thunderbird 140.12.1esr 64, mint - 001-1.0}

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

We have a common email address manger@redwoodscholars.uk we recently changed manager George left us and Louise joined us. Louise changed Georges name in the setting page and removed his signature on her laptop. I changed the name in my address book and deleted all my history, Louise sent me an email which showed it was from Louise<manager@ etc> BUT when I clicked on reply, the reply was addressed to George<manager@etc> The mail is managed by web mail on stmp.host.co.uk.

What else do I need to do to correct this?

TB address book has duplicate entries or other entries that will not delete or edit? Tried to even change the name. Close reopen and it reverts back to original. ??? Thanks for the help.

Thunderbird on my new Macbook Pro doesn't recognise the MacOs Contacts, it's empty. Do I need to run a complete new installation? (Also Gmail refuses to accept outgoing mail.)

I frequently need to send emails to around 30 recipients. In MS Outlook, it is possible to create a recipient group in the address book. Is there a way to do this in Thunderbird as well?
