I have been using TB for abut three years with a certain e-mail address, but I never created an address book. I have now changed e-mail addresses and I would like to create an address book with the addresses of all people who sent or received e-mails from my previous address. How do I easily create an address book without having to go into each e-mail and manually add to my address book?

Chosen solution

The add-on listed on AMO is listed as working only up to TB version 3.1.

Try this add-on with current TB versions:

Note that all the addresses that you sent mail to should be in the Collected Addresses book; copy contacts from there into Personal Address Book by drag and drop, while holding the Ctrl key.
