During composition, how can I access the secondary addresses for numerous sending?
Hello, I need to send many messages to my contacts adresses, but also to their secondary addresses. When I compose a message, I can access only the main email adress from my contact when I open the contact window. How can I do that ? is there a recommandable addon abble to do that ? I can see only the main but not the alternative address. Many thanks Regards Birdee

Contacts Sidebar installs and runs in TB 24.5, but you may need to first install this add-on:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/checkcompatibility/
The developer of MoreFunctionsForAddressBook can be contacted by clicking the Email icon at the top left of the add-on's webpage.

- Open Address Book
- select the address book containing the contact.
- select contact, so you see their contact details in the lower part of Contact Pane.
- You should see Email and Additional email. click on the additional email to open a new Write message using that email address in a TO field.
Hello, this suggested solution is ok to send a message to one by one contact. If I need to send a message to many contacts at the same time, this it's not efficient. This is what I mean : If I open a "new message" and the "contact panel" which is on the left side, I can see only 2 columns with "name" and "main adress". At this time I can't see the culumn with "Additional emails" and I can add it... which would be very convenient Regards Many thanks Birdee

I looked at the addon
which would offer this, but it seems from comments that it is no longer working on recent versions. I cannot see how to contact the developer on whether he intends to update this addon.
Hello Sfhowes thanks you for your answer, but unfortunately the pre-release version of Contacts Sidebardoesn't work with TB 24.5.0 !

Hello sfhowes MoreFunctionsForAddressBook could be a solution, I installed it and I can indeed easily duplicate contacts with an alternate address. It's a bit long because I have a lot of contacts! Thank you for the tip. I will indeed contact the add-on developer to allow an 'Additional email' column in the Contacts sidebar. Thanks a lot Birdee
Where could I contact the add-on developer to allow an 'Additional email' column in the Contacts sidebar ? (what is the link to reach therm ?) Regards Birdee
Hello Sfhowes, I just try the way you told me, installing checkcompatibility and then Contact Sidebar, but it doesn't work. I have the following message on the main TB page :
"XML Parsing Error: undefined entity Location: chrome :/ / contactssidebar / content / contactsPanel.xul Line Number 244, Column 9: "
