I'm asking this question in both SeaMonkey and Thunderbird support groups
because I figure the answer is likely the same for either product.
My aged aunt lost her address book file in her Mac SeaMonkey profile.
But her sent folder is intact, with all the emails she's sent in the last
decade. Is there any way to populate a new fresh address book using the
To and CC addresses in the emails in her sent folder?
I could extract all the To and CC addresses from the folder (with grep).
If I did that, and had a plain text file of email addresses, would there
be a way to repopulate her address book from that file of email addresses?
Yes, at least for SeaMonkey 2.0.8 under WinXP Pro.
I had seen the answer to this somewhere, but couldn't remember
details. So a little experimentation filled in blanks - knowing a
solution is possible helps ;)
Under
Window -> Address Book -> Tools -> Import
are a list of choices. [Comma or tab delimited are available]
I went to
Window -> Address Book -> Tools -> Export
and exported one of my address books and found that the 1st gives
field titles thus telling you what needs to go where.
