Display problem of names in the address book correctly

I managed to import my Outlook address book after mapping the fields apparently correctly, in particular to ensure that the first and family names are related to the correct fields. I find that they are not displayed separately but in a single column in the form firstname.surname. Can names be included separately so that I can sort by family name?

Open the address book. In the menu, click on view: show the name as: last, first.

It only will show it with last, first of all, but it will also sort that way now, as long as you have view: sort by: name ofvalue.

  • When I transfer mail, if I click a recipient and hit return, the name of the recipient is replaced by another name in the address book.

    When I transfer the mail on ICC, if I click a recipient and hit back, the recipient's name is replaced by a different name in the address book.

    It's bug and the bug fixers are working on it as soon as possible.

    The error only occurs if you use the key "TAB" or "Enter".
    So if you physically use the mouse to select recipients, and then click on in the other field, etc. - do not use TAB or Enter, then the fault does not occur.
    As an alternative, I highly recommend that you use the following method in the selection of contacts in new e-mail messages or in the transmission of emails.

    In a new message of Scripture
    Use the "Contacts sidebar". See the image below.
    If you do not see, then activate.
    'View' > "Contacts Sidebar" or toggle the view using the f9 key
    Select the address book
    Select the contacts
    Click on the button 'TO Addto' or one of the other options.

  • How to create a subset of the names in the address book without having to type each name separately?

    When I used to use OE as my email client, it was possible to create "groups" in the address list, with the facility to send then to the group by name, so that each recipient included in the Group of email addresses all received the e-mail in question. (For example, the group named "IVG" consisted of six e-mail addresses, owned by six members of a discussion group, as I do, and I could send all at once simply email for IVG). Now, here's my question: in OE, I could fill the e-mail addresses of members of the Sub-group by simply selecting them in my list (s) global e-mail address. In TB, on the other hand, it seems that the only way to create a "new list" in the global list existing, is to type the address of each recipient by hand - an amazingly arduous task if the subgroup is of any size. And it is not clear that, even when the "new list" is over, it can be used as a "mass mailing" vehicle like the subgroup could in OE. Can someone tell me, please, if and how I can compile a subgroup within the address list of TB in the same way that I have described for OE? (And I can deal with just like a 'name' to send e-mails to all members of the subgroup, as described above?)

    Start typing and it will automatically complete. If you do not have to type a lot.

    Or create your mailing list, close it, and then drag and drop contacts on its icon.

    As you describe with OE, use the name of the mailing list replaces the addresses it represents. You can of course just select from your address book as any regular Contact entry.

    A significant limitation of the mailing list of Thunderbird, it is that it must be created in an address book with the Contacts he made reference. In other words, if you generate a list in the PAB, it must contain only the Contacts appearing in the personal address book. If you create an entry in a mailing list that is not in his address book parent, a new minimum Contact entry will be automatically created in this address book parent. Put in official terminology, a mailing list is a subset of the address book of its parent.

  • I want that my second acc't of e-mail to have its own name in the address book and contacts list and to rename the address book

    I don't want to mix the personal contacts with business contacts. I like a second tab addresses to show when I have my business address opened in 'inbox '.

    The personal book and collected books are the books of two default cannot be deleted, and suggested DO NOT rename them.

    When you select this option to add a contact to an address book by clicking the star next to the address it will add to the personal address book. You can click on the star again to open the dialog box modify and change to place the contact in the address book.

    The collected book collects addresses for outgoing messages.

    There is no function by default to collect addresses of incoming e-mail.

    Just to keep the terminology straight, Thunderbird has address books and mailing lists.
    You can create new address books in the address book window by selecting file-new-address book.

    You can create mailing lists within address books to use for distribution groups. The contact must exist in the address book where the mailing list is created to be added to the list. You create a mailing list by clicking on the button new list.

  • When you click on the name in the address book - email address looks different in the email address bar and can not be sent - why?

    I've been using thunderbird for a few years - in the last month when I tried to send e-mails, I have a problem with some of them as part of the email address changed when I insert it ino the address bar and has quotes around the first part of the address before the @. I tried to remove the addresses and re - insert them but the same thing happens. If I go to the address bar and delete the commas that the email is sent - can I overcome this problem without having to enter each email? I send emails to many people and change each one who has the problem takes a lot of time. Not all e-mail addresses has this problem. Many thanks - Tim

    The space is not evident.

    The most common and probable cause is you copy paste the email address.
    This can very easily copy paste an empty space and empty spaces do not appear as an easily detected error. But this is the only scenario that I found which produces the question you had - incorrect address Contact framed by double quotes around part first - pre @ but the blue link is good.

    It does not occur if you have an e-mail address is sent to you in an e-mail and you use the left click on the email address and select "add to address book".
    It should not happen if hand typed unless an error is made.

  • URL of the page Firefox displays do not flow in the address book.

    Firefox is now showing the URL data for the tab more recently opened in each address bar, and not the actual data for the open page on this tab. For example, tab 1 is open to wsj.com and two tab is the open for foxnews.com, suddenly the address bar to 1 tab now shows foxnews.com in the address bar AND it is now impossible to go 'back' because the button is grayed. In addition, if a link is clicked within the active tab, the URL in the address bar does not change, but remains "attached" on the address opened more recently opened tab.

  • in Outlook Express, how can I send the same message to a group important (in the address book already), but have to each recipient can only see his name (not the Group)

    In Outlook Express, how can I send the same message to the large group (already in the address book), but have to each recipient can only see his name (not the Group)?

    To use the functionality of the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy), in a new message window, click View | All headers and type the addresses separated by a; Or: Click the button to. You will see your list of contacts and the choice to put them in the To, CC, or BCC field. Click on an address, and then click BCC to add it. Repeat for all of the contacts you want. (Note: most of the providers have limits as to how many messages you can send both a. 25 is common, but it varies).

    Put your own address in the box to. That's the only name/address that any recipient will see. If you leave the field empty, some people may not receive e-mail because of message rules they put in place, or restrictions imposed by their ISP.

    You can also make an entry in the address book using your e-mail address, but put something like the mailing list in the area of the display.

    *********************

    You can also create groups if you send e-mail to the same people often.

    To create a group of contacts:

    You can create a single group name (or alias) to use when sending a message to several contacts at the same time. Just create a group name and add individual contacts to the group. Then just type the name of the group in the box for when you send mail.

    1. in the address book, select the folder in which you want to create a group. Click New in the toolbar, and then click New Group.
    2. the Properties dialog box opens. In the group name box, type the name of the group.
    3. There are several ways to add people to the Group:
    a. to add a person from your address book list, click Select members, and then click a name in the address book list.
    (b) to add a person directly to the group without adding the name to your address book, type the person's name and e-mail address at the bottom of the Properties dialog box and then click Add.
    to add a person to both the Group and your address book, click New Contact and enter the appropriate information.
    (d) to use a directory service, click Select members, and then click search. Select a directory service in the drop-down list at the end of the text box. After finding and selecting an address, it is automatically added to your address book.
    4. Repeat for each addition until your group is defined.

    Note

    a. to view a list of your groups separately from the list of address book in the address book on the view menu, make sure that folders and groups is selected.
     
    b. you can create multiple groups, and contacts can belong to several groups.

    If you want to send to a group without addresses are displayed for each recipient, open the address book and make a new entry. Enter the name of the group in the area of the display, but use your address. (Some Internet service providers require a legitimate address in the line to and recipients will know it's from the Group).

    Click on the button to. Enter the name of the group using your address. Enter the group in the BCC field.

  • I do not see my addresses in the address book

    Hello

    I just reinstalled Windows 7 Pro (I had to) and I managed to reinstall Thunderbird, then point it to my existing profile as my email now displays correctly.

    The problem is that my address book seems to be empty now. I checked and my abook.mab and history.mab files are located and have content (13.1 K and 16.8 K respectively) have been dated to shortly before the reinstall. When I bring my address book, however, it seems empty.

    Is there something more I should do to get my address book will display correctly?

    Unfortunately I don't have an exported backup or anything sensitive like that.

    In which case it is important:

    Windows 7 Professional
    Thunderbird 31.4.0

    I don't know if the version of Thunderbird I was running was a little different than that I just installed. My previous version of Thunderbird has been reasonably aware.

    There is a possibility that you have more than one profile. Look at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_how-to-find-your-profile and then look in the same directory to see if there is another * file *.default.

    If so, see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-multiple-profiles to switch to another profile, and search for your address book. If you find, export using the LDIF format and then switch your main profile and import addresses.
    NOTE: no matter what name you give the exported address file becomes the name of the address book when you import it!

    Still no joy? Watch abook.mab with Notepad; It is a text file. Browse down to see if you have your address book entries.

    Let me know what you find.

  • How can I get the address book to sort by the name of 'Family' (using v 31.3.0).

    After a computer crash, I had to load Thunderbird (v31.3.0) in my computer running Windows 8.1, and I managed to import my address book backup file in Thunderbird (v31.3.0).
    My problem is that I don't see an option to sort the address book by name of 'Family', which was available with the version of Thunderbird, I had before the crash.

  • Can not get the address book to display the email addresses of the contacts

    I moved BT mail using Thunderbird to access my emails. Everything went OK, until I tried to import my
    contacts. I can't get my address book to display the email addresses of the contacts. I will admit that I do not understand the menu you want to move the two columns from top to bottom after importing the csv file. Please can you explain what I'm doing wrong here. All I want is first name, last name and email showing in the address book. Thank you

    I tried to write a procedure to http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/importing-csv-files.html some time ago here. but the thing is if you change the columns in the CSV file in a spreadsheet, first match that Thunderbird expected (both in name and order), then you don't need to play with this terrible UI that aligns with the name of the field name of the field.

    It is in this dialogue if you have the family name next to the e-mail address of the family name is considered to be the email address.
