How to Add To, Cc and Bcc Recipients Easily in Mozilla Thunderbird

Is it easy to type email addresses? Is it easy to remember email addresses?

Fortunately, Mozilla Thunderbird remembers them, and when you start typing a name (or address), it is completed automatically. Still not ideal for adding 20 recipients to an email you forward — and you don't want to set up a group?

Mozilla Thunderbird has a trick up its toolbar for this situation, too: the Contacts sidebar. And if you're missing an Add to Bcc: button, turn to the context menu.
