I hate the new address bk; don't send as before. I type a few characters and silly stuff enters the addr box, then rejected mail. How to go bk old way?

If I type in an address like 'Amy's parents' list I can send is no longer a big e-mail to all members of my family in a single click. I'll take a note "no-no" of you Bird saying ' the close recipient of Amy isn't in the right format, to [email protected].» We cannot send this e-mail. ' (or something like that).

Something like that didn't used to happen before late August 2014 or the beginning of September 2014.

I even had a one-person e-mail fail this morning (08/09/14) because I tried typing a few letters and he knew to send the e-mail message, but it included these letters in the address. He made the speech out, for example, as 'NJ [email protected]' when I wanted it to be just "[email protected]". This kind of stupid things never before used.

Can go back us to an earlier version of you Bird, to prevent this? Or a new version will stop it - I think - big bug?

This has been reported as Bug #1060901. It is fixed in a next version of Thunderbird that is not yet available. Read further for more options back to a working configuration.

Several other people have sent in the same request of support you, noting that it happened after they upgraded to version 31.1.

The exact error message is: XXXX is not a valid e-mail address, because it is not the form user@host. You need to correct before sending the e-mail message.

This happens in Thunderbird 31.1.0 when the description of your mailing list includes several words separated by spaces.

Well that isn't ideal, these workaround solutions should allow you to use your mailing lists until a proper fix is implemented:

  • All by composing an email open the address book and select the list you want to send, to highlight all the names in the list and drag them to the To: box. This example uses your existing data without changing it.
  • Replace white "" between the words in the descriptions of these lists with an underscore "_". This requires modification of your descriptions of mailing list (s).
  • Upgrade to an earlier version and disable automatic updates (Windows)

Go back to a previous version of Thunderbird and avoid the automatic updates

In Thunderbird Windows updates are automatic by default. In order to avoid similar situations in the future, you could change that and decide to have a more cautious approach to updates.

Before trying what anyone, make a backup of your Thunderbird profile.

You can uninstall the current version of Thunderbird via Control Panel > programs and features and reinstall a previous version, download it from here:

Click the type for your operating system. for example: If you use Windows select "win32", then select the language for example: en-GB British English = then download the .exe file

You can customize the behavior of automatic updates, however, it is under Tools > Options > advanced > update.

My suggestion would be to check the updates but let me choose whether to install them.especially if you depend on critical business e-mail / important or personal questions.
