I can't find my lists of contacts in my address book, how can I get them back?
I have about 12 lists I mail to. They have all disappeared. The names and email addresses are still in the address book, but I don't know how to get my lists back.

Hello Bobby
It could be a matter of file corruption in the Address Book file. The Personal Address Book exists in the Profile Folder ( Profile_Folder ) as a file named abook.mab. With Thunderbird closed, navigate to the Profile Folder and see if there is a file with a similar name to that but including bak in the name or file extension. If there is, try renaming abook.mab to abookmab.old and rename the other file to abook.mab. Restart Thunderbird and see if the addresses are present.
