I have a man which use 3 e-mail addresses. So, I want for each letter with any of three these addresses to look with one name (i.e. Ivanov Ivan instead of user@yandex.ru, user@gmail.com, user@rambler.ru). When I create one contact and add one address as main and two as additional, Thunderbird do not recognaise additional e-mails. Temporarily I solve this problem created three contacts with the same name but different e-mail addresses. But this solution seems to me very stupid, and I hope there is better and smarter solution, which I don't find. Help me please, and sorry for bad English.

Using additional email addresses: Method via the 'Address Book'.

  • click on 'Address Book'
  • select the address book name
  • select the contact, so it shows in the lower pane.
  • Left click on the required additional email address.

A new Write window will open showing the additional email address in a TO field.

Method via the Write window. In a TO field:

  • start to type - Either the additional email address OR name of person
  • Select the one you need from the drop down options.

Whilst the 'Contact Pane' only displays the main email address, the TO/Cc/Bcc fields will offer options including additional email addresses.
