I appreciate your work to improve Seamonkey. However, your
failure to address this possibility in your download instructions has
made this program useless to me. Looks like I will have to move on
and start all over again with my research. Bummer!
Hi,
Along these lines, when my Vista Home Premium worked poorly, a
commercial computer tech switched my PC to run Windows XP Pro. Most
things are stable since then, but I have an address book problem. My old
and lengthy address book did not carry over to XP. My hard drive has all
my old address book listings under "abook.", but in narrative text form.
Try as I may, I cannot migrate it to the address book in SeaMonkey,
where only my newer addresses are listed properly in nested categories
that are clickable. Any help with this problem will be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
Mort Linder
Mort, I don't know what you have tried, but have you tried opening your
Bookmarks folder (in SeaMonkey, in a browser window, select
Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks, then under Tools, select Import, select
File and then point to your bookmarks file.
Your mention of the name "abook"however, makes me think you are talking
about you e-mail addressbook. If this is your problem, click on the
Addressbook Icon at the bottom left of your mail screen, and then select
Tools=>Import.

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your reply. Following your advice, I imported my old address
book (abook) to my newest SM one, and got 471 items. Unfortunately, they
are not in the usual format. Instead, I have 471 small icons at the left
of the screen. Clicking on one at a time gives me only the first and
last name of the addressee, and no e-mail address. I am perplexed.
Mort
