Is there any limit to the size of a Thunderbird address book list? I'm looking at about 2,500 addresses.

I have several mailing lists, the largest of which is about 2,500 addresses. I've tested importing the addresses and that seems OK. At the moment I'm using a script on my server to send out emails. Due to an upgrade on the server a year or so ago the script doesn't work so well, so I'm wondering if I can use Thunderbird to send out the emails instead.

Thanks for any advice.

Any limits will be applied by the server.

Most email providers impose a limit on the number of recipients when sending a message. Gmail for example imposes a limit of eg: 100 when using a email client. If its a problem and you have several accounts check whether any of the other accounts have a higher limit. Otherwise you probably need to break the mailing list into multiple lists, and send the message multiple times. In extreme cases you might want to think about creating a Yahoo Group or Google Group instead.

read section on 'Address Books'.

Mailing List can be made more 'personal' by using 'Mail Merge ' addon with a designated address book rather than a 'Mailing list'.
