When the latest Thunderbird installed last week it lost every email and contact in my address book. I installed a new profile and downloaded >40,000 messages from my host server but my address book contents are still missing. Mozilla really should not do "updates" that give people such a massive headache. Even the simplest things were changed, like clicking once on the preview window marks a message as read when I don't want it to do that. Anyway, now to my questions: 1) How can I at least restore my contacts? I have tried using the import feature and it does not see my former profile. 2) I would really like to blow away all the unread email in the new profile and get my other profile mail imported so I can see what has been read and what has not. Much thanks for advice. - Phillip

Check your old profile folder for abook files. One of them should be abook.sqlite. Copy it to the new profile folder and restart Thunderbird.

Stans, you are THE man. My sincere thanks, my 1600+ contacts are restored. In follow up, my groups were not restored. Any suggestion for how to restore them? Thank you again. - Phillip
