I'm running SM 2.3.3 under XP and apparently deleted a list in one of the address books. Not too difficult to recreate but more reliable to restore from a week old copy of my profile.
So you have a backup, fine. :-)
So, I copied from the old profile to the current profile, the four files that look they would do the trick (ABOOK.MAB, abook-1.mab, abook-2.mab,& abook-3.mab). No luck, the missing list was not recovered.
You found the right files but I think you forgot at least one mandatory extra step.
Anyway: what does it take to restore my address books?
Each address book needs some matching prefs in order to be connected to SeaMonkey's Address Book component. Their names all start with "ldap_2.servers.". You need at least "ldap_2.servers.<someName>.filename" with a value equal to the address book filename (e.g. abook-1.mab). Maybe more, haven't checked, but I'd assume you also need the ones ending with ".description" and ".dirType". Just compare your current prefs.js to the one from your backup.
