Using Thunderbird as my Email Client for sending out emails from Access 365. We recently updated (both Access and Thunderbird) and now I am seeing that the emails being sent from Access are having their email address cut off. The first 5 characters of all email address (TO, CC, BCC) are being cut off. HappyFamily@email.com --> Family@email.com Is this an access issue or a Thunderbird issue?

it might be a character set issue. Most of the office suite are yet to make the leap to unicode, so simple unicode CSV files throw excel for instance into a loop where it wants to "import" the text file.

My guess, and it is a guess, is that your seeing one of the oddities of ansi to unicode in Microsoft office. A starting point might be to make sure windows is actually using unicode.
