Contact email address contains "Timestamp" plus a number
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.
