It's possible to drag/drop contacts from To to CC or BCC.

It should be possible to do so across messages open in separate windows.

But when I try it, it fails.

I have Firebird Beta installed. I also have Outlook 2019 but after an update the address book is not visible. I have located the pst file(s) but don't know how to import the email address book from Outlook to Firebird Beta. Can you help?

Thunderbird is displaying the wrong name in the from or correspondents columns in some of my emails. The displayed names that are wrong are from other emails received. For example, one email in the from column is displaying Nancy, but the email is from Grainger with a different email address. I have received emails from Nancy but she is not affiliated with Grainger. This issue is happening with many, but not all, emails. A name displayed in the from column that has nothing to do with who sent the email.

i want to add the multiple addresses in a special address book to the distribution of an email

how do i do that?

(i tried putting in the name of the address book... that didn't work)

thanks

I start to make a new email message. I start typing in the recipient's email. Auto-complete finishes the address but misspells it. The recipient's email in all the address lists have it correctly. I recently saw the light and came over from Outlook. I imported my Outlook address list. It was correct in Outlook. Newest version of Thunderbird. thunderbird-MSIX - 1.0

Got new internet provider. Old provider has blocked or frozen me out of my prior email account. I need to see my contact list and provide those people with my new address.

I want to move some contacts from one mailing list to another. How do I do that?

How do I add a contact to an existing mailing list? The contact is already in my address book and is not a new contact.

When I added my treasurer@mlakes.org email to my Thunderbird account all of my previous contacts were not included. Can they somehow be added ?

I have Version 140.8.0esr | Released February 24, 2026, for Linux Mint (up to date)

I have a CardDAV address book on a Nextcloud instance that i want to sync to Thunderbird.

When i open Address Book and the clikc on " Create a new address book" the Account Hub modal window opens. None of the 4 options (including Add Remote Address Book" do anything, i.e. I can click as much as I like but nothing happens.

I have a backup file from another thunderbird installation. The profile in this backup contains a file named abook.mab. I suppose this is the address book. I would like to copy the addresses from this installation to my current thunderbird 147.0.1 (64-bit). Tools > import > address book does not work. Can you please advise me?

I left outlook and chose tbird with cardbook. I am not happy with it. When I choose "new message" I get a blank form and can choose an individual addressee but do not have the option of addressing I group I created. My contacts are in google with supposed cardbook coordination. I think your contact list is interferring with the cardbook data. This is a kluge. How do I fix it

Recently, I exported my Address Books, i.e., Personal and Collected as CSV files. Looking through those files I discovered that not all "Fields" from the Address Book had been included during export. Some of my contacts include three or four email addresses. The CSV Header added to the top of my exports only shows "Primary Email" and "Secondary Email" in the Header. There may also be other Fields of information that are not exported, but I haven't looked and, frankly, didn't expect to have to check my exported files. When editing a Contact if that contact has more than two email address I expected those to be part of the export file. I am running the current version of Thunderbird on my Windows 11 computer and an earlier version on a Windows 7 computer. Both versions of Thunderbird do not export all Field Data from the Address Books.

I tried importing my Outlook Classic address book. As you can see from the attachment, I really messed it up!. I am not technical at all, I wasn't sure if I needed to import my contacts or my address book. I think, but am not really sure, that I exported my .pst file, address book to a csv vile. Can anyone one straighten me out? If I have to start over, how do I delete the mess I created without loosing all of my other settings? Thank you very much 😊😊😊

Address book import is not working after I import it. It says I have 516 contacts. All I see are big grey dots but no information inside them.

I'm exporting from Classic Outlook (2016) in .CSV format.

I run TBD 140.8.0 esr (64 bit) under Debian 12 Linux. Until recently I could automatically enter a special address from the pertaining addressbook, this does not work anymore. helpfiles do not show a solution thus I am here.

The addressbook is full of addresses however I have to transfer a special address via past and copy into the addressfield of the mail I want to send.

Thanks for a quick answer Jörg Kampmann
