when i write an address in my email thunderbird changes dot to dash. if I correct it, it still changes the dot into a dash and my email does not go out or i get a delivery error message

Somewhere in my version of Thunderbird, there is an old adress of one of my correspondant which is recorded This adress is no longer valid and I have deleted it from my adress book Nonetheless, when I start to write my correspondant's name, this adress keeps being proposed among the first options for the automatic completion of the adress How can I delete this wrong adress from the hidden part where Thunderbird has stored it?

After deleting all emails from a sender, their email address is still appearing in the search box. For example if I delete all emails from rubbish@rubbish.com the email address is showing as soon as I enter "rubb" in the search box I want to delete this address but don't know where it is stored All help appreciated

This just started happening a couple of days ago (after I upgraded to TB 140.5.0esr on a Mac, in case that's relevant).

Every time I type the word "address" in an email, TB changes it to my home address.

Anybody know why this started? And what can I do to turn it off?

Thanks Clint

Hello

I've been setting up Thunderbird on MacOS. I was adding few Gmail accounts. Every account was using 2FA so I had to enter new verification code each time. When I was adding 3rd or 4th account and was entering Google verification code into the form it suggested one of the codes I used before. Codes had same first two numbers so I guess I know why this form suggested one of the old codes but where does Thunderbird store these codes? I've deleted search history and cache in Thunderbird and attempted adding another gmail account but this time when I was asked for 2FA code I started with older verification codes and this form remembered all of them. Is there a way to remove them? Where does Thunderbird store these codes?

Thanks for any suggestions

Hello, My TB account is setup properly and I am getting mails from my gmail account. But when I compose mail on my TB account I am not prompted for any address completion while composing the e-mail. On Thunderbird and my web gmail there are many e-mail ids in the inbox.

How do I make TB so that it prompts me with these e-mail ids which are in Inbox when I compose mail?

Any help will be apprecated. Thank you, Deepak

If an invalid email address for To:, Thunderbird rejects the email BUT retains the invalid address and uses it as an autofill alternative forever. This is but one of many instances when an invalid address can be presented as an autofill choice.

Where are these addresses stored?

Is there any way to access a listing of autofill addresses and edit them to delete the invalid entries?

Hey everyone,

I'm using Thunderbird for my work email and looking for a way to have it automatically suggest email addresses when composing an email, based on emails I’ve received—not just the ones I’ve sent or saved in my address book.

In Gmail and Outlook, when you start typing an email address, they automatically suggest addresses from your inbox history, even if they’re not in your contacts. Is there a way to make Thunderbird do the same?

Any built-in settings, add-ons, or workarounds to achieve this? Would really appreciate any advice!

Thanks!

When people change their email address, Thunderbird still remembers the old one, and offers it in the type ahead buffer. How can I delete these stale addresses, to prevent me accidentally sending to the old one?
