I have just set up a new Linux Mint desktop and configured TB for my btinternet email account.

Looking at the address book, all the contacts that have appeared in it, contain "TimeStamp+a series of numbers" before the @ sign of every address.

In the btinternet account contacts, the addresses are as you would expect them to be, without the extra timestamp+number.

Is there a way of getting rid of that, or do I have to edit every address?

Many thanks,

Lee

I have solved the problem myself, but will share the solution here, in case it helps anyone else!

Export the address book with the offending extra data in, as a .csv.

Open the document in Libreoffice.

Ctrl-h for find / replace

Under "Other options", tick "Regular expressions"

In the Find: box, type: ~.*@ (you are saying, find the string that starts with ~ and ends with @, with anything at all in between)

In the Replace: box, type: @ 

Hit "Replace all"

Save the file as a new .csv and import that file into the TB address book.
