Automatically adding contact address
Hello,
I am still having some trouble using Thunderbird.
I create a new e-mail, I want to automatically add a contact by start typing the address but it doesn't Auto fill.
Going to contact list I double click on the contact for example my address and it inserts "[email protected]" note the quotation marks. If I try to send it as is it won't but if I remove the quotation marks at the beginning and end it does.
How do I resolve this please.
Regards,
Steven.

Have you checked your address book as advised last time? Did you try re-arranging your CSV file?

It won't auto fill until the email addresses are correctly entered. The way you have to double click and the quotation marks tell us that there is still a problem with the format or structure.
Try creating one or two contacts by hand and see where it puts the data. Then you'll have a benchmark and may be able to see why the imported data is misbehaving.
Unfortunately, importing address book data is one of the first things folk want todo and it's not the easiest thing to get right.
Hello again,
I don't quite know what you want me to do with the csv file? or what alterations should be made?
Thanks.
I gave you a link in an earlier thread: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_address_list_from_text_file and that article lists the import fields that Thunderbird's Address Book uses.
So open your CSV file in a spreadsheet program, work through that list and identify which columns in your CSV file correspond with Thunderbird's fields, then rearrange the CSV columns into the Thunderbird order. Some columns won't have an exact match, but you can line these up with an empty unused field.
Then you can re-import your revised CSV file.
Doing this in a spreadsheet is supposedly easier than using the import tool, and I believe I also linked to my own article about how to use this.
