Adding a new V-card is easy to setup and edit in Thunderbird.

However one cannot add a "private home address", there is no field boxes; this can be added to the works tab field name or notes tab, but has to be then added manually when the user receives the V-card - what a pain!

You have not provided a way to add a image that replaces the little greyed out man from your edit window either?

Please explain why these features are not available in Thunderbird. Can I create a V-card outside Thunderbird with these features and import them for use with my email account. How is this done, do you have a help file on how to achieve this.

Thank you.

I think I need to ask you to explain "Adding a new V-card is easy to setup and edit in Thunderbird."

Adding a vCard...to what? From where? How and where are you editing it?

Thunderbird doesn't use vCards itself. You can send the Contact details as a vCard, usually as an attachment to a message, and it can import vCards sent to you by email, or acquired elsewhere. I don't understand where your phrase I quoted above fits in.

Contact data in Thunderbird's Address book have "Private" and "Personal" tabs, so I don't see any problem there in accommodating a Contact's home address. And a vCard created by using the "Send as vCard" feature of the MoreFunctionsForAddressBook add-on contains both home and work addresses if present in the Contact entry in the Address Book.

Oh, shoot. I get it. You're using the feature within Account Settings.

Try the add-on I mentioned, then sending your own Contact entry as a vCard attachment.
