My copied address book doesn't work on new computer

more options

I transferred my address books to my new computer, but when I try to send a message it says the addresses are not valid. Both computers are Thunderbird and W8.1. I am receiving emails and can respond to emails that I get, but cannot write new emails. What's the trick?

Chosen solution

Sounds like you did not get the right data in the correct fields when you imported the address book.

When you open the address book and look at one of the contacts info is the email address in the email address field? If not you need to get that right on the import or manually go through and change them all.
