Cardbook data missing

Thunderbird Contacts
Matt replied

I just noticed that a bunch of data from my Cardbook address book is missing. Some contacts are missing. Some "Categories" that I had created in the past few months are missing. I think this may have happened when a new install of Thunderbird happened but I am not sure. I back up my Thunderbird Profiles most days so have those if needed.

How can I get back the data that appears to have disappeared?

I noticed this problem when I had Thunderbird 140.1.1est 32-bit installed. I then installed 141.0 exe (64-bit). (I also tried installing older Thunderbird versions but didn't continue with those when they wanted me to create new profiles) I am using CardBook ver. 100.4 I am running Windows 11 Pro.

Some people have had problems using Cardbook. I suggest you contact the developer as addons are supported by their developers.

Thanks. I have posted on the gitlab webpage where the add-ons project is housed. Perhaps now that Thunderbird's address book has improved I will see about going back to using it. Thanks again.
