When I attempt to use a Mailing List, which has worked in the past, to supply the addresses for an email which I wish to send, it fails with an error message as per this example:

"MAILING LIST NAME (current)" <"MAILING LIST NAME (current)"> is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail.

It seems that Thunderbird can no longer parse the Mailing List for the individual names and addresses.

Do you need any more info?

Thanks for your help.

Confirmed workarounds:

  • While composing an email open the address book and select the list you are trying to send to, highlight all the names in the list and drag them to the To: box. This uses your existing data without modifying it.
  • Replacing the blanks " " between the words in such lists' descriptions with an underscore "_". This requires modifying your mailing list(s) description(s).

Please could you try it in Thunderbird safe mode to see if an add-on is causing your problems? Help > Restart with addons disabled.

As you may need this fixed quickly: You could uninstall the current version via Control panel > Programs and Features and reinstall a previous version, download from here:

Version 31.0:

Version 24.7:

click on the type for your OS. eg: If using Windows select 'win32' then select the language eg: en-GB = English british then download the .exe file


The thunderbird program is not stored in the same place as your thunderbird Profile. So, uninstalling and reinstalling should not effect anything in the profile folder including emails, address books etc.

However, it is always a good idea to backup your Profile, just in case :) You can use tools such as MoxBackup and/or ImportExporttool or manually copy your Profile folder to an external device. All info at links below:
