My address book not showing addresses.

I need to delete my students' addresses for data protection reasons.

The addresses don't appear in the Thunderbird address book. They do appear in the 'To' line of an email panel.

How do I get access to the email addresses in my Thunderbird for deleting?

With thanks for any pointers, Ulrike

Chosen solution

Open the Address Book tab, and select 'All Address Books' in the left pane. Locate the contacts you want to delete. As long as they do show up in the 'To' field of a Write window, they must be in an address book. Note, there is more than one address book by default.

Thanks, christ1, it was the last of a long list of address books, another 'collected addresses', that had the ones I needed to delete. Just hope that covers it without these addresses being repeated slyly somewhere :) Thank you again, Ulrike
