Cannot create a mailing list in my addressbook

I created a new address book. I then create a (mailing) list and try to add contacts to it. It acts as if it worked, but nothing shows in the list.
Thunderbird 32.2 (same on 24.x)
Windows 7 Home Premium fully updated

The inability to change an address book (and your Mailing Lists is contained within an address book) often points to corruption of the address book data file.
One way to fix a data file is to export the data to a file ('''Tools|Export''', use the ''LDIF ''option, then delete the offending address book and re-create it by importing from the LDIF file.
In the case of ''Personal Address Book'' and ''Collected Addresses'', you won't be permitted to delete these within Thunderbird. However, if you close Thunderbird and open its profile, the files ''abook.mab'' and ''history.mab'' can be deleted. They will be re-created, though empty, when you re-start Thunderbird, so you import their contents from the respective LDIf files to a suitable temporary address book and then move the Contacts (ctrl+a, drag and drop) into their preferred locations.

  • Cannot create new mailing list

    I have a large addressbook in TB with many mailing lists created in the past. I am trying to create a new one. When I go "File, New", the mailing list option is blanked out.

    In Address Book
    If I select a 'Mailing List' (not an address book)
    File > New > Mailing list is greyed out because you cannot create a mailing list from a mailing list.
    If you select an address book, then 'Mailing List' should be available.

  • I have created a Mail List (25 adds) and it works fine, when I open Thunderbird later the list is gone and I have to create a new one. How do I save lists?

    I have been trying to work out how to use email address lists in the past few months.
    I recently managed to import all my contacts from Windows Mail on the old PC. They are now in "Address Book", there were a few in "Personal Address Book" but most were in collected Addresses.
    When I went into collected addresses and clicked New List it allowed me to create a list of the 25 or so emails required. Then I could send out the email.
    The next day I opened Thunderbird to send another email to the same list and it had disappeared.
    I have since surmised that you cannot save a list created from Collected addresses in your Personal Address book unless the addresses in the list are in your Personal Address Book.
    I will try again now I have completed the import and see if that helps.
    Any other ideas would be most welcome.

    You really should keep your contacts in your Personal Address Book.
    You can drag and drop contacts between address books.
    When sending a message, and the recipient isn't in your address book yet, Thunderbird automatically adds the recipients email address to Collected Addresses. You can turn that off though.

  • Creating new mailing list.

    CRM import the file - 600 new adresses (it's a txt/tab file made with Excel/Mac) but BC do not visualize the new mailing list, so I cannot make any further choice for campaigns. Other question: can I create email list fron CRM and how can I change option filters to create new list. Can someone help? New to BC. Thanks

    Dear Liam, it's just I am new to BC. I first had problems to create mailing list importing .csv files, then turned to txt file.
    Had no problems with 50 address txt file, meaning BC showed me that list with those 50 custumers included.
    But when the list is about 600 addresses, BC does not show the list I have created as a new mailing list with its name.
    I dont know why. The CRM add those 600 new addresses, but there is no mailing list connected to those 600.
    So I have a great CRM now, but cannot choose those among them I want to send email campaigns to. For instance:
    all company working in the same town (which was the title of the email list I should have created, that indeed BC dont show me).
    Am I doing something wrong with saving correctly the .csv or txt file? I started from the basic Excell templates given by BC.
    Is there a fast way to erase my CRM, in order to rebuild it with mailing list criteria?
    Much confused, as you see.
    Please try help me. And thank you very much for first answer. Waiting.

  • Regarding creating a Mail List Manager  ..pls suggest

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a very primitive Mailing List Manager for general usage. I am facing a few issues and would be greatful if i could get them clarified.
    1.I requier a smtp server that will create group accounts, i tried using a few mail servers but they require creating of accounts manually by the admin, is there any mail server that you can suggest that will allow creating user accounts (actually group accounts) and these accounts can be created thru a java program.
    2.I searched the Java Mail API but could not find any methods that will allow me to create a user account/mailbox in the smtp server i am using.I am using a very primitive smtp server called " OpMail ".
    3.To create this list manager do i require something called JMS, or will mail API only suffice.

    1 & 2) I don't know of any mail servers that allow you to create users without admin access.
    3) JMS is something else entirely. The Mail API is all you should need.

  • Cannot enable group mailing list

    Hi,
    Running 10.5.2 server on Xserve, server acts as OpenDirectory master and Mail sever.
    We have a normal mail service running fine, but trying to enable the "Mailing List" option for groups results in an error.
    "Error of type eDSInvalidAttributeType (-14131) on line 733 of /SourceCache/WorkgroupManager/WorkgroupManager-319/Plugins/GroupAccounts/GroupB asicPluginView.mm"
    Web service is enabled, and appears as the option for the dropdown "Enable services for this group on:", but even just choosing the server from the dropdown and attempting to save the config (without turning on any services) results in this error.
    Can anyone help with what this means?
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Hi,
    In Mail service -> General -> ensure "Enable SMTP" is checked,
    if you don't desire to send outgoing from clients then don't select any authentication methods in Mail Service -> Security -> SMTP,
    In Mail service ->Mailing Lists ensure that "Enable server group mailing lists" is checked,
    once that is done, per website -> Web Services ensure "Mailing List web archive" is checked if you want mail to appear on the website,
    For each group ensure "Mailing list" is checked, and "Mailing List web archive" if you want the group email repository on the website.
    At least one group member should have an email account or a Forward to email address for the mail to go somewhere, assuming Web archive is not selected.
    Send an email to the group address at [email protected] and look in the SMTP log for teamsserver to receive the email and then forward to individual addresses.
    Hope this helps,
    Harry

  • Cannot send to mailing list - get msg "invalid email address"

    I have set up a mailing list for the first time.
    It all seems pretty straightforward and to test it I have used my email address as the only one on the list.
    however when I try to send to the list I get the message above.
    any help very welcome
    thanks

    have you got a space either before or after the text of the address. clicking and highlighting the address in the address book should show that space up if it exists.

  • To create a mailing list for a specific ou

    Dear all,
    I am trying to define an emailing list for a specific ou members! using dynamic ldap search filters!
    I have already working lists for all domain, and for static lists! but not a restricted dynamic ldap :(
    i used many queries and all result with:
    Your message cannot be delivered to the following recipients:
    Recipient address: [email protected]
    Reason: no addressees: [email protected]
    The queris i used are many:
    ldap:///dc=ju,dc=edu,dc=jo??sub?(&(objectclass=inetMailUser)(ou=eman ou))
    or
    ldap:///dc=ju,dc=edu,dc=jo??sub?(&(|(objectclass=person)(objectclass=groupofuniquenames))(ou=eman ou))
    in the provisioning guide there is a paragraph that i didn't understand!
    NOTE iPlanet Messaging Server also supports dynamic lists based on the attribute memberURL from the objectclass groupofurls. Netscape
    Directory Server 4.x allows creating of dynamic groups using this attribute and messaging server can take advantage of any groups that may have already been defined using memberURL.
    version of our messaging server and we don't have delegated administrator installed yet?!!:
    iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 HotFix 1.21 (built Sep 8 2003)
    libimta.so 5.2 HotFix 1.21 (built 18:35:22, Sep 8 2003)

    You do not need to have iDA installed to use dynamic groups. In fact, iDA does not deal with dynamic groups.
    There is a whole series of pages in the Admin guide:
    http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6009-10/users.htm#15141
    about creating dynamic groups. Let's give that a try, please.

  • How do you create a mailing list?

    Is there a place in mail where I can create a group of email addresses that I email frequently? I can't even find my address book.

    In Address Book, note the "Group" panel on the left.
    You can create a group by clicking on the "+" on the bottom of the panel, and populate it by dragging cards of people in the address book into the group.
    You can also create a group in Address Book form the File menu, which gives you options to create a group, and "New Group From Selection" which is handy if you've selected a number of cards in your contact list.
    Finally, there's my personal favorite, "File > New Smart Group". This is excellent because it permits you to create a group that's made of cards meeting criteria that you specify. If you add a new card with the specified criteria, it's part of the group. One thing you could do is create a group of people that, for example, live in your hometown... However, I've found it immensely useful to select cards based on a word or phrase in the note field (e.g., I have a smart group called Christmas Card that contains all people with the phrase "xmas card" in the note field). You can also make groups like "everyone that's got a birthday in the next week" and so on.
    If you want to send e-mail to a whole group, simply type the group name in the To:, Cc: or Bcc: fields in Mail. You'll notice that as you type, the group name will appear in a drop down and you can select it. When you do, the group name will be replaced with all the individuals in the list.

  • Cannot search/interrogate Mail list

    Had half this problem with Mavericks.
    Now both searching received mail as well as sent mail is not working as it use to.
    I keep my list of emails chronological (by date). (I do not use conversations.)
    I use to be able to highlight a person in my list and would find all their emails by clicking 'from' or 'to'.
    Now that action will take me to the end or the beginning of those lists in alphabetical order. With thousands of email over 5 or more years that makes it a pain to scroll to the email selection I wanted.
    In Mavericks the 'to' list in the sent emails was playing up, now in Yosemite both the 'from' in the received emails and the 'to' in the sent list are not 'working'.
    Sorry if there was a more tech savvy way of describing this problem.

    Every so often, when the problem recurs, I can get it back to normal just shutting down both iCal and Mail, and then starting up Mail. I think it must have something to do with the way task-data is synced between Mail and iCal.

  • I have lost the ability to change fonts,use color and size and when I try to write anyone,I cannot see my mailing list and there is no send button.

    A few months ago my ability to use different fonts, colors and sizes suddenly disappeared. These choices were always available when looking at my email and I used them regularly . No one I asked ever heard of such a thing happening. I left it alone until I found someone to help. Then, a few days ago, when I clicked "write" , two things happened. First, I could not forward, reply or even see my collected email addresses. Second, there was no longer a place that said "send". My email page filled the entire screen and when I scaled it down, there was still no way to see my list or to send. I am a novice when it comes to fixes and terms but, I have asked people who have some experience with PC's they were stumped. I contacted Fairpoint and they said it must be a Thunderbird problem. Most of the people I asked said they didn't know Thunderbird. One suggested that I reinstall T.bird but, said I also might lose everything on my PC. I would appreciate any help you can give. Thanks, Jim

    When you click Write and open the new message editor, press Alt to show the Menu Bar, then enable all the toolbars under View/Toolbars. Plus, press F9 to show the Contacts sidebar.
