Hi, Put my comp in sleep mode. Next day found an update was installed. I have it set to not install updates. Maybe this is cause. https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2026/05/26/restart-multiple-times-microsoft-changes-windows-next-week/
c:\users\<yourid>\appdata\roaming\thunderbird\profiles folder "abook.sqlite" NO WORKIE anymore.
Is this resolved? That link doesn't relate. If you need assistance, please provide some information. thank you
Can you provide some assistance? Please. Where is the new address book storage folder? Thanks for the help.
You already know the default location. My concern is in knowing whatever was done to prevent it being there. Did you update, change versions, anything? Here is a suggestion: - click help>troubleshootinginformation - scroll to 'profiles' and click 'about:profiles' - that opens a pane with all known profiles. since yours apparently does not have it, I suggest clicking to browse any other profiles, when there, look for the abook.sqlite and compare size and recently used date. If bigger than the one in the default, then you may have found it. Let us know
