How do I import an address book?
I had a hard drive crash. The email and address books were backed up on an external drive. I had no trouble bringing the email into the newly installed T-Bird 5, but I can't restore the address books.
.I copied the two .mab files from the backup drive to the profile file (xxxx.defult) but when I click on the address book in T-bird, there are no addresses. It's a 469kB file, so something's in it.
Do I have to do some kind of export and import?

That was T-bird 52.
The address books I copied into the profile folder were abook,mab and history.mab. I'll look into "more functions for address book" but I'm hoping to do the simple copy route.
I found the problem. There were two profiles. A new one was in users>dick>appdata>roaming>profiles. The old one was in users>dick>documents>appdata>roaming>profiles. That's where my mail is. I had to put the mab files into the old profile file.
Thanks for the guidance.
