Group addresses not added when sending email - only group name

Just helping a friend use Thunderbird on a new PC with Win 7 Prof. Previously he used Outlook Express under Win XP.
Downloaded latest version of Thunderbird. Imported old wab file as suggested using "morefunctionsfor..." . The old (complete) address book was imported correctly into a new address book in Thunderbird. It contained several groups. Each of these is correctly listed underneath the new address book and they also appear in the new address book. Clicking on any group correctly shows the list of addresses for that group.
However, if one selects a group and sends an email to that group ONLY the name of the group appears in the TO field and the email fails to send. Closer inspection of the contents of the address field show that only the group name and NOT the constituent addresses are being included.
Thanks

My problem is that groups are no longer recognised and cannot be used to send emails. Does Mozilla respond to this problem or do we have to wait for a clever user to find the solution? The problem for me is fundamental and will shortly affect whether I have to find an alternative program.

  • I have recently bought a macbook and am using outlook 2011 as email. i am getting an error message 4.7.0 not allowed when sending emails how do I fix?

    i have a macbook and am using outlook 2011 as email.   receiving okay.   sending okay sometimes.  am now getting error message 4.7.0 not allowed when sending.  what is the cause? how do I fix please?

    I have discovered that the emails have in fact been sent but much later, maybe it's a network problem with the people i am sending it to.  so i checked my sent items and they are there, but at the time the email doesn't go straight into the sent box or drafts so i'm assuming it's disappeared and type it again.  i'll keep going with it, until someone can give me a possible solution or explanation as to what is happening.

  • SMPT server does not recognized when send email use POP3

    I can not send email from outlook on Mac Pro - I use the same server for incoming and out going, incoming email well receive but not outgoing and one can help ?
    it notice show as bellow
    Error - Through this server
    Can not send email. The SMTP server does not recognize any of the authentication methods supported by outlook. Try change your SMTP.... I use the same server for incoming and out going, incoming email well receive but not outgoing and one can help ?

    The problem is probably the wrong host name. If you have an MSN account the outgoing server may be different than it is for Hotmail. If you log in to your web mail account and go to the Support page you should be able to find instructions to set up POP3 mail. In those instructions should be the host name, port, and any other settings you need.
    Usually you just enter the first part of your email address as the user name, but you should be able to confirm this in the POP3 setup instructions. If the user name alone doesn't work then try the full email address. Also, if you have a login name to MSN that is different from your email address you can try that also.
    Regarding the "<hostname>:25" entry, many people have found that email sends faster if you specify the port number; if you don't, the iPhone tries all possible ports which can take several minutes. This isn't your problem, but it is good practice to specify the port number. In versions before 1.1.1 the only way to do this was to put the port number after the host name, separated by a colon. In 1.1.1 there is a separate field for in in the Advanced settings.
    It would be helpful to know the error message you are getting when you try to send. That will determine whether the iPhone is not finding the server, or is finding it but the send is being rejected by the server.
    Keep at it; there is a way to get it to work.

  • Lync presence coloured square not working when sending email in Outlook 2013

    OK, I'm running Lync 2013 & Outlook 2013.
    When I send an email from Outlook the small Lync presence icon that appears in the "To" field after you type the user your sending the email to does not appear.  You get the user name but where the coloured square should be it's just white
    (like the background colour).  
    If I hove the mouse pointer over the user name the pop-up contacts box shows the Lync presence correctly.
    At the bottom of the new email window, the Lync presence is always shown correctly.
    This happens for users with or without pictures set as their Lync icon.
    I've completed a repair of the Office install without success.  Also uninstalled Lync & Office and re-installed but still no joy.  Also tried creating new Outlook profile but this didn't work.
    If I create a brand new Windows 7 profile, and then create a new mail profile it works fine.  So, it must be a user profile problem.  Hopefully someone can point me to a registry key or something as I'd rather not go through the pain of migrating
    to a new user profile.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    If we need to show the Online status for contacts, just go to FILE tab ->
    Options -> People -> check Display online status next to name ->
    OK.
    Please also try the steps below:
    Lync -> Options -> Personal -> Under
    Personal information manager -> Select None ->
    OK.
    Go to Outlook, People, Right click on Lync Contacts and
    Delete Folder.
    Then go back to Lync to the same options, choose Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook, go back to Outlook let the Lync contacts sync again to check the result.

  • Wrong from address being used when sending emails.

    I have had a problem just recently on my iPhone 5S with latest iOS 7.1.1 whereby outbound emails are being sent from the wrong account.
    When I start to compose the email the correct from address is shown, but then when I enter or select a recipient it sometimes changes to one of my other accounts. This causes confusion and problems when people don't recognise the email account, and potentially will reveal a private account to someone I don't want to.
    The default is set correctly, it just happens occasionally after entering a recipient email address.  Very odd and recent behaviour. 
    If I notice and change the sending account before sending the email then the next time that I send an email to that person it seems ok.  But it can change again at any time.
    I just tested and if I change the sending email address it will use that the next time, if I change it back it will then select a random different one following that.  It is very definitely a bug.  I bet you $5 if I call up Apple tech support they will tell me to reset and restore my phone, which will probably solve it for a few months before it crops up again.  Have tried rebooting the phone and turning off and on and switching default accounts, no change.

    Check your mail smtp server preferences in Mail Prefs > Accounts for each account. That is independent of the "account" dropdown in the message composition window. In preferences > account, make sure that the desired smtp server is selected for each of your mail accounts. Authenticated smtp servers will specify the username with the smtp server info. If any are in error, you will need to go in and edit the smtp server information from that same pulldown menu for each account in error.

  • Mail and Bellsouth Not Working When Sending Emails

    I've seen this mentioned a few times in regard to Leopard 10.5.2, but I haven't really seen an answer for my situation. I have Bellsouth DSL and Leopard 10.5.2. Ever since I upgraded from Tiger, I have no been able to send emails. I can receive them just fine, but cannot send them. I've read that Bellsouth (ATT) is blocking the port, but I've tried many subs and still cannot get it to work. Can someone give me step by step instructions on how to get this working again? By the way, I can go to the Bellsouth website and send and receive emails just fine, so I know it must be a failure to communicate somewhere between my Mail app and the Bellsouth server. Thanks for the help!

  • IPad 3 aol email is not relaying when sending emails?

    I have tried turning main server off n creating new but then said username or password wrong. Help

    I copied this from another discussion and this may be what you already tried, but take a look to be sure. I edited some of the content that was not relevant to the question.
    Go to the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" settings panel under "Settings."  Click on the "AOL" account.  Click on "Account".  Under "Outgoing Mail Server" click on "SMTP".  Under "Primary Server" it says "smtp.aol.com" and is probably set to "On".  Change this setting to "Off".  Then click on "Add Server..." under "Other SMTP Servers".  Add "smtp.aol.com" as the Host Name, Your AOL account as the user name (without "@aol.com"), and your AOL password.  Your outgoing mail should now work.  I believe the problem is that on my wife's phone, "@aol.com" is somehow getting added to the sendmail request under the default settings for the Primary SMTP server.  This bypasses that problem.  Best of luck...

  • I just downloaded OSX maverick and now I cannot drag addresses from my contacts to the "To" box when sending emails.  How can I go back to old drag groups or addresses to the box?

    I just downloaded OSX Maverick and now I cannot drag addresses from my contacts to the "To" box when sending email.  How can I get back to dragging groups or individual contacts to emails?

    Starting to type a name and getting a list of matches is good but it's not a substitute for being able to choose twenty or thirty names from your address book and dragging them into the "To" field. Of course many contacts can be put into a group but I may want to send occasional emails to many people who don't fit any group, and there may be no need to create a group just for that email.
    If you agree please send an email to apple feedback for Maverick OS X.

  • How can I get a picture to go with my email signature when sending emails from my iPad? Only a square box shows up on my signature not the actual picture I iploaded in my settings.

    Only Apple Account Security could help at this point. You can try calling Apple Support in Canada - you'll have to find one of the several ways, such as Skype, to call an 800 number from outside of the relevant country - and ask for Account Security and see if they can help. Or you can find a friend who speaks Chinese and ask them to help you talk to Apple Support in China. There are really no other options that I know of.
    Note, by the way, that these are user-to-user support forums. You aren't speaking with Apple when you post here.

  • TS3899 When sending email from the Mail App or through other Apps, my default From: address will change when I enter a To: address.  This sometimes leads me to send the email from the wrong outgoing email account.  It is frustrating and poor design.

    When sending email from the Mail App or through other Apps on my iPad, my default From: address will change when I enter a To: address.  This sometimes leads me to send the email from the wrong outgoing email account.  It is frustrating and poor design, especially since I had already checked the From: address.

    3rd party email addresses have to be deleted on every synmced mac product, although I have 1and1.co.uk and my imac updatetes the mails in that account from mac mail.
    Yahoo etc is a 2 step deleting process but good to get your emails pushed when on the go.

    Sorry for the delay...
    I did what you've told me, new account and manually copied my files from Time Machine. I had lots of permissions problems, but at the end, almost everything is in order... It seems it had to be with some of the Apple Preferences, but I can't be sure, as most of them were dumped to the trash can.
    I still don't have my Mail Rules back, unfortunately, although I did goggled some. It is a pity, as I had around 30 or 40 of them, getting my mail in order to each of its mailboxes, but it is a small price as the rest doesn't show the before syntoms.
    Thanks for the help, anyway!!
