Mort Hi Tobias, Thanks for the new suggestion. I followed the directions in the link, and found the profile folder, and the abook. I dragged the isolated narrative old address book to that icon, and it took as its MB count went up appropriately. However, when I then turned SeaMonkey on again, and clicked on its address book, it still had only 39 addresses. I don't know where the old plus new ones are hiding now, but I sure wish that they would go to my SeaMonkey's address book icon, so that I could use them. They represent about 10 years of addresses, and I really need hem. Hi Mort, before you copy your old and wanted abook.mab into your current Profile-Folder, you have to close SeaMonkey completely, be sure you have disabled Quick-Start too before. Using the Windows-Task-Manager, you can look if there is a seamonkey.exe Process still running. If this happen, you can kill the Process using the Task-Manager. And if you won't replace your new Addressbook, you can rename the old one (or the new one) into abook-1.mab before copy the File into your SeaMonkey Profile-Folder. Tobias Hi, Thanks again. As per previous posts, I tried all the things that you and others advise. Due to the havoc wreaked by my computer tech, the old address book with hundreds of my addresses is self-standing on my hard drive, not in any profile. It will not drag into my SeaMonkey profile , (with SeaMonkey completely turned off), and when I do copy, it will not paste. So close, and yet so far. Regards, Mort P.S. For some reason known only to Bill gates, all my other send mails are fine, but my send mails to this group get sent but with an unknown name instead of mort, and are not copied into my sent folder. it will not paste.

re. Where s The Address Book In SeaMonkey
Hi Martin, After copying, I cannot paste anything into SeaMonkey, nor into its address book, with SeaMonkey off as you suggested. Sometimes the paste icon is grayed out, and sometimes it is not; it seems to make no difference. So, the abook. is sitting out there, and I cannot get it to move to the SeaMonkey's address book.

I have my e-mail set up so that as I send out a message, its address is automatically added to my SeaMonkey address book. However, my hundreds of important oldaddresses are still sitting there on my h.d. in narrative form. I'm repeating myself but just to make things clear: you are not supposed to drag it on your seamonkey addessbook. You are supposed to drag/copy it from a folder to another folder in windows itsself (from your old profile to your new profile).

Right clicking gives nothing, and left clicking on any of these just opens SeaMonkey.

For some reason, my laptop refuses to copy sent messages, to this group only, to my sent folder, and gives my sender name as invalid or similar. It works to all other recipients. Weird.

What you are looking for is a file folder with .slz file extension, however that changes from installation to installation, and for some unknown reason, I've seen through out many newsgroups, the files don't play well together. I wish you luck in your future attempts. Eric and, of course, Mort, Eric meant the file extension to be .slt and the changes he talks about are that the file name maybe something like fxgjht5j.slt in one case and something like dsf67kgh.slt in the other installation.

I tried dragging, transferring, etc., but I cannot move my abook. to my SeaMonkey address book. I tried copying, and then pasting, but the paste is always grayed out and non-functional. I would be most grateful if either of you could walk me through the steps that I must take to get these hundreds of addresses into my SeaMonkey address book. Thanks again, Mort Hello Mort, you need to open the Seamonkey addressbook-window just once and then close ALL seamonkey windows. It needs to be completely closed. Afterwards you need to open the directory of your old Seamonkey-profile and copy the abook.mab file. Then paste it into the new profile-folder. All this is done within windows while Seamnkey is closed, not in Seaonkey itself and not while Seamonkey is open as the files would be in use then. Good luck! Martin Why don't you just google Mozilla Backup from Jasnapak? and install it on both computers. Then copy the backup file to a thumb drive, CD, DVD or however you want to get the backup file to another computer the restore it to the new computer?

It did not work,as the address book is apparently not draggable. Does anyone know the file name of the address book in SeaMonkey?
