Cannot get mailmerge to work

Hi All,

I have the latest thunderbird installed. When I try to mailmerge, I get the one message in the template folder but no merged messages in the outbox.

Also TB will not accept the variables in the To: Cc: or Bcc fields.

I have tried many tutorial, none work

This will be a great addon, if only it worked :)

Cheers

Gary

Hi All,

When I try this, I get an error message asking me to add an email address

"Add the Variable(s) to To, e.g.: {{PrimaryEmail}} or {{FirstName}} {{LastName}} <{{PrimaryEmail}}>"

Cheers

Fixed it.

After entering the variable in the "To" field, ie, {{Primary Email}}, HIT THE DAMN RETURN KEY!

Now it works

Regards

Gary
