I have Thunderbird 91.2.1 installed on two computers. The Address Book element is driven by an icloud account, which I use on my iphone, so far so good, no problems with synching etc. However I have created, on one of the computers, a number of lists which sit under the icloud Contacts. These lists do not appear on the second computer. Is there a way of synching the lists? All of the lists are made up exclusively of contacts contained in the ICloud Contacts

Syncing mailing lists/Google groups is not fully supported, although I think CardBook might work with Google Contacts. If you're using an add-on like TbSync for iCloud, contact the developer about adding that feature.

I'm not technical, but I found the extension TBSync to work for doing this. I do have to re-sync if I add to my contacts (and so far I'm not figuring out how it works with groups - Thunderbird isn't recognizing my iCloud group) but at least I can get to all my individual emails.
