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.

Hi Daniel,
Again, many thanks. I do not have a current abook. icon in my SM. I have
only a Collected Addresses file icon in my SM. Search reveals 3 abook
files on my hard drive, each with 236 KB, and each with a long run-on
text. If I could enter a new address into one of them, which I cannot,
then I would never be able to find it.
The frustrating thing is that those 3 abook files are there someplace on
my hard drive, but not in SM where they should be. At least I still have
my Collected Addresses icon and file.
So, with all the good will in the world, I cannot carry out your latest
advice. I did try.
Mort
Hi Daniel,
The plot gets thicker. I imported the file abook.bam into SM, and then
got the icon "abook". However, the total number of contacts listed was
0(zero).
Mort
