Re: Lost Address Book
Sir, I have worked in many system administrator positions that have address book databases. It all depends on which mail server you used to send and receive mail. Was is from your current e-mail account on the sccoast.net server? If so, contact a Systems Administrator for that system and they should have a backup of your address book that can be restored to your account. I highly recommend using an outside e-mail address when possible like Yahoo Mail or Gmail because they back up their data several times a day and they also have backup servers that ensure reliability across the network. I hope your health recovers! I hope this helps! --- On Wed, 8/15/12, wrehm wrote: From: wrehm Subject: Lost Address Book To: support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org Date: Wednesday, August 15, 2012, 7:29 PM Two weeks ago I came home from the hospital after suffering a minor stroke with memory problems. Please noteMEMORY PROBLEMS! I don't know what I did while I was in my address book (I know that I did not touch the delete key). I was searching for a name and as I was leaving I touched a key and all my addresses disappeared. I've gone into help for answers...Spent quite a bit of time on research,but cannot recover my list. Please help an old senior citizen with this disturbing problem. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

It is now free-standing in text format, and its tools do not include export. Dragging does not help. This all occurred when a computer tech converted my buggy Vista to XP Pro. All my many old addresses are in text form, while the SeaMonkey address book has only recent ones in hierarchical form. If the file was created with SeaMonkey address export, you just use the import tool to pull it in. Other than that, if it's small you start typing address cards. If it's big you write a perl script to convert the format you have to the format you want. Don't know perl or other suitable language? Make a friend, you make too many mistakes doing it by hand. Hi, Using the import tool did not work. I'll have to go the perl script route. Thanks for your help.

Fire up 1.1.xx and go to the addressbook, select a book, and use the 'export' tool under tool pulldown to put the book(s) of your choice into a text file (LDIF or csv). Then exit 1.1.xx and start 2.0, open the address book and use the import tool to get the addresses. I do wish there was an import selected addresses tool, but the exported file is readable by a text editor so you can do what editing you wish, although not in a wonderful user-friendly way for most people. ;-) Do everything is easy, have fun.
