If I create an address list in Address Book, I'm unable to send email to its members by the methods described in the documentation:

• Bulleted list itemIf I highlight the list and click Write, I get a new message with nothing in the To box.
• Bulleted list item If I click Write and look in the contacts sidebar, the address list isn't in the list - it just has individual addresses, and some very old address lists
• Bulleted list itemIf I right-click the address list, I don't get any options like "Add to To" - just Edit list, Print, Export and Delete.

Has the functionality changed? Is my list not being saved for some reason? (The list name is just letters, no spaces etc.)

When exporting an address book, all addresses are exported, without being divided into mailing lists. How do I make the address book exported divided by mailing lists? The full address book list is exported, without mailing list categories.

I recieve email with a LOT of other addresses in the "to" list. how can i copy these addresses into a new contact list without typing each one separately.[which would take a LOT of time]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Using Betterbird/Thunderbird 128.9.2esr-bb25 (64-bit), navigate to "Address Book"

2. Using "Address Book" "List display options". Type in any phone number

3. No result are display. This is the challenge. The needed end result is to search all Phone Number field for all contacts. Including any additional "Phone Number" field per contact if any. For example, but not limited to, "Phone Number 1", "Phone Number 2", "Fax Number", etc.

Using this on device 1:

• Betterbird/Thunderbird 128.9.2esr-bb25 (64-bit) from Arch Linux repository

• Arch Linux latest version

• KDE Plasma latest version

Using this on device 2:

• Betterbird/Thunderbird 128.9.2esr-bb25 (64-bit) from https://flathub.org/apps/eu.betterbird.Betterbird

• Debian Bookworm 12

• GNOME 43.9

What I tried that did not work:

• Add-on "Contact Tabs" does not support Betterbird/Thunderbird 128 at https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/contact-tabs/

I have tried to add this address to my address book. Normally, one clicks on the icon and a pop-up appears to modify information and confirm entry into address book. This address always shows up as "not in book," clicking has no apparent effect, until one checks the address book and now duplicates exist.

First image you can see that Freeman is in the address book Second image you can see that Tbird thinks the address is not in the book Third image after I've clicked and no apparent action is taken, a duplicate appears.

When this bug first appeared I had clicked on the icon multiple times, and multiple entries appeared in address book. I deleted them all, tried again, bug still happens.

I exported Outlook Contacts to a .csv file and imported giberish to the Thunderbird Personal Address book. Can the giberish be block deleted? How should the Outlook Contacts be transferred to Thunderbird? Secondly, I exported Outlook Contacts to gmail and have used them on the web based gmail app to send messages. Don't remeber how the gmail contacts got to the Thunderbird Address book, but they don't work. The first message I sent from Thunderbird from my wife's gmail address to my hotmail address produced the following error:

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: The recipient address <Steve Thompson (sthompson2486@hotmail.com> is not a valid RFC 5321 address. For more information, go to

Both imported address books are unuseable. Please help.

Recently upgraded my Dell computer with Ubuntu 22.04, and with that, upgraded Thunderbird to version 128.6. Since then (a couple of weeks!) I've been struggling to re-create something that I've been using since I started using T'bird about fifteen or twenty years ago, back when T'bird versions were in the low two digits in fact.

Until this new version, I was able to create a *GROUP* entry in the address book, one name (call it "Family", say), add multiple names & addresses, and save it under that name. Time to contact Family, I'd type that word into the TO field, T'bird would call up ALL the addresses I had entered into that Address Book entry, and I'd be able to send to everybody with a single Send command.

Not anymore! Now it's Nope, Can't Do.

How do I get that feature in this new version 128.6? Step by step, please. I've not been able to find this info on this forum --- the new format of which I admittedly find pretty confusing.

How do I add a person's non-default email address to a mailing list?

I have a mailing list for our golf league, and in my address book many of those in the list have both a work and home email address, with one marked as the default. Some of our members would like messages sent to the list to go to both addresses. But I haven't found a way to add a person's non-default address to the list.

Do I need to create two address book entries for each of these people, one for each email address, and separately add them both to the list? That seems awfully klunky/inefficient to me.

I created a Mailing List within an Address Book a year ago. I now need to add some new contacts to the Mailing List . I added the new contacts but could only add them to the Address Book. I now need to copy them from the Address Book to the Mailing List, but can't see how to do so , there seems to be no way to view the two lists side-by-side.

I hoping to et answer to my issue.

I am running 32 bit version of Thunderbird I believe is 128 on a windows 10 Pro. The problem is the computer address book is completely messed up. I know I can export the distributions list which is well over 100+ in length. Is there way to do this so I can cleanly sort them into example:

Users-Ads Business Partners Professionals

  Chiropractors
  Nurses
  Medical Dr's

I currently have 12 different email addresses that are different businesses The Address Books don't make any sense at all.

So there a way I can go thru Thunderbird Address book or sent emails for email business so I can cleanly sort this out.

The person who set it all up passed away and the computer is owned by my sister who is now running the business.

Trying to figure out a good way to get all this put together where it would make better sense. It is really overwhelming. She only wants to send ads out maybe once a week or 2 maybe even a month.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Also have a complete folder nightmare where inbox and other folders have nested folders as well to sort out.

Appreciate any thoughts on the above and thanks for your time.

Is it possible to set a default email address for contacts?

For contacts that have several email addresses, they often have a preferred email, but I wanna keep also the other email addresses. When several addresses are available, TB chooses in some way a default.

I don't see any option to change the default address that's chosen by Thunderbird when composing a new message to such a contact.

I recently re-installed Win 11 with the help of a Dell tool. During the re-install all of my data files were kept, but not the applications. I've re-installed Thunderbird and it works fine. However, I've noticed that my address book is empty. I've found abook.sqlite through the Profile Folder, so I know the file exists, but how do I connect it to the Address Book link in Tools? Thanks Sam

I bought a new computer. I want to transfer all (a lot) of my Contacts in Thunderbird email. Tried several times. Can't do it. Watched the video. It crashes every time. Please help. Thanks, Wayne [edited email from public forum] @centurytel.net

When I try to edit an address book entry, I get a partial part of entry. I can only see first name and unable to see or edit anything else. Using windows 11, seems to create problems in Thunderbird.
