new adresses disappear after restart, do i something wrong?
when I create a new adress in the adresslist, it's gone after I restart the program. It's probably something little but i cannot find it. In the past it work well but I dont know what I have done or not done to create this problem.

In summary:
- Export your address book

thanx, it worked well and it's not as much work as it looks an first side! And the extensionname is .ldif not .mab in my case. You can give it another name and so old adresses are not gone forever either!
The native address book files have .mab filename extensions. The exported files with your rescued data will (should!) have .ldif extensions.
So, having exported to ldif, delete the .mab files then re-import the ldif files. ;-)
