Re: Thunderbird Group Limitation?

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Jerry,

The answer to your question is, no there is not a limit on how many 
(certainly more than 50) contacts can be in a group.  My first thought 
is to be sure you are running a more current copy of Thunderbird, at 
least 5.0, that's what I use.  Thunderbird 6.0 does not support the 
current version of Lightning, the calendar plug in.

If you are synchronizing your contacts with another source, such as 
Google Mail, then the synchronization program may be the problem because 
the update on the other end does not work.  I have had that happen 
several times.
