Hi Daniel,

More frustration now. When I click on the address book in the l.l.
corner, I get only Collected Address Book, and no Personal Address book.
When I try to import, I click on Address Book, and get 4 choices, none
of which works :Eudora, Outlook, Outlook Express, or text(incl LDIF,
whatever that is). When I type in the folder name of each of my found
abook. files, none of them gets imported to anything.

Wow. It's like that old vaudeville joke about directions: You can't get
there from here.

Thanks again, Daniel.

If at first you don't succeed, Mort,................

1. In SeaMonkey, save an email address to your current abook.mab. This will give the file today's dat, so you can tell which one is your real abook. Tools->Export the addressbook to an .ldif file. Note its location

2. Do a Windows Find File and Folder for abook.mab.

3. Change the name of your current abook (the one with today's date!!) to something distinctive, keeping the mab trailer.

4. Move one of the other abook.mab's to the location of the original abook.mab.

5. Start SeaMonkey and see if you can address an email.

If this abook is not the one you want, repeat steps 4 and 5 for the other abook's. When you find the right one, then, if you want, Tools->Import the addressbook that you started with and that you exported as an ldif file.

See how that goes.

Daniel
