Move or merge address books TBird from 'death' in the current installation disc?

Old boot disk was not able to start Windows 7 Pro, because 'important startup file' has been corrupted in some way to the previous stop (shutdown appeared 'clean'). Re-installed Windows 7 Pro on a new drive, downloaded and installed Thunderbird, etc. on the new drive and now the disk access 'death' just another 'local' drive on the new facility. The directory of profiles of Thunderbird on the disc 'death' is completely readable, but I can't seem to find "address books" (there are four). Also can't find the magic incantation to launch Thunderbird and pointing to the 'old' profile so I can 'export' address books. Any tips?

TIA, John Chase

Copy the whole profile instead. Instructions in this article: create a new profile and copy the old stuff on top

  • My address book contacts have disappeared since the upgrade to El Capitan. Where are they?

    Hi, I upgraded to El Capitan yesterday and all the contacts in my address book Thunderbird disappeared. The AddressBook is completely empty. In addition, he didn't even address on the left hand books, for example "personal address book" etc. My contacts are stored on my computer? If so, where they are located and how can I get back to my address book? I've been adding contacts for a few years. When I compose email, email addresses are auto-fill in the field of composition, so it seems they are still out there? Thank you.

    Hi the prey,

    ·         What is the brand and model of the computer?

    You should check the settings of the computer BIOS (Basic Input\Output System) to boot from the CD/DVD. Check the manual or the support of the computer Web site for the same.

    Note: Be careful when you change the BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly.

    Run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to see if your computer is compatible to install Windows 7.

    Yes, you can drag and drop contacts between address books.

    Open the address book window.
    Make sure that the directory pane is on and visible. If this isn't the case, put it under the view menu.

  • How can I copy the address book Thunderbird from Windows to Ubuntu?

    I think the best way is to export address books needed of the LDIF files on the first machine and import the LDIF files on the second machine.

    Alternatively, you can copy the files from *.mab data from one machine to the other. Two default address books are represented by abook.mab and history.mab and can be simply copied. Other user-defined address books will be designated as abook1.mab etc. and will have to be imported. I'd say MoreColumnsForAddressBook for this task.

  • during the transition from Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail, is the address book data stored and also the info in files

    I'm afraid that if I upgrade the form Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail, I will lose all e-mail addresses in my address book current as well as the information contained in the files - models etc.

    If you install WLMail on your XP machine, it has to import messages and addresses automatically and nothing will be lost of OE.
     
    If you like WLMail better than OE, you are a person better than I am.
     
    For specific questions from WLMail, ask here.
     
     
    PS It has nothing to do with Hotmail. I don't know where Christophe that came out of your post.
  • Warm the address book sync from PC to Palm IIIxe

    After buying a PC without a serial port, I have a card installed and connected handheld. I tried to Hotsync the device but I get an error message that the program could not open address book database. Clicking ok on this message, another pops up telling me there was an error opening of the contact database and a new empty database is created and the original database file has been renamed to C:\Program Files\Palm\username\address.002.dat.

    Whenever I try to hotsync, I get the same messages and it keeps creating a numbered sequence file. No idea of what is happening here and how I can fix this problem? Contact Db is in the PC and I saved on a drive to the case where. I am using Windows XP Pro and I didn't have this problem before.

    I'm naïve here... Please help!

    Ok. Looks like you will have to do a 'clean' of Palm desktop and re uninstll - install.

    With he data in Palm desktop, export the data for backup purposes. Here are the instructions to do so.

    The best way to protect your data is to export the data in each category of Palm Desktop in a separate folder on your PC.

    Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that suits. Name it something like Palm Desktop data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on this page for the export procedure.

    http://www.Palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?id=28734

    Make sure you only select everything for the beach in the export window.

    With the data stored in the created folder, make a copy of this file and save it on a USB key, cd - rw or external hard drive.

    Whenever you change in Palm Desktop, export the data that has been changed in this file and save again to external media.

    With this process you can always import the data in Palm Desktop, whenever you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop, or if your computer/hard drive/device crash.

    Once the data is exported and saved, clean uninstall Palm desktop and re-install. Here are the instructions. Once Palm desktop is re-installed, importing data in Palm desktop, change the ducts to the office replaces handheld and sync.

    You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
    is happening. You can find your data files by going to C:\Program Files\Palm or
    A Palm. Highlight your Palm Desktop user name and right click and copy.
    Then, go to the desktop of your PC, right-click on a blank spot block and select.

    If this is the first time, you install Palm desktop and encounter a problem, go to the previous step.

    For Palm desktop 6.2, look in the following location for folders and files, my documents, desktop PalmOS. You will find the username folder in this place.

    Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove anything that has to do
    with Palm Desktop on your computer. As the folder above, remove the Palm folder. Once this is done, you need to delete some registry keys
    your registry PC operating system.

    Word of warning, go here and removing the wrong thing can cause your PC
    No start, crashing and deleting programs and data. If you feel
    you're not sure of yourself, see if you have a friend who can help you or a
    PC technician that you can pay to help you. This will show them all
    Should be deleted. To keep your current registry settings, we have a backup of the registry.

    On the PC, go to start and run Type "regedit" without the quotes

    Select WORKSTATION, browse to the file--> export. Should appear with a save as
    box. Current place of residence is very well should be in My Documents, or you can change in a location that you will remember. In the file name box, type "Regbackup [todaysdate]" i.e. Regbackup07072008. Then, the most difficult part.

    The best way to ensure that your work with the right key, select the key that is installation quick palm and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are
    make sure you. Say Yes. Do the same for all the keys below.

    If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
    BUT do not turn off your computer.

    The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of the theses reg keys won't be here)
    But if they remove them)

    * Installation quick HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm
    * Transfer of files Robotics\PalmOne HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S.
    * Robotics\Pilot Office of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S.
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
    * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm

    Then restart your computer

    Then, reinstall your Palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If she asks
    you for a user name, enter the name that is on your device in the upper right of the screen to hotsync.

  • When you try to import data from csv address book, less than half of the csv fields are available for mapping.

    I exported my Outlook contacts to a CSV file. When you try to import the CSV file into Thunderbird, only some CSV fields are listed in the field mapping tool. More important still, e-mail addresses aren't in the list.

    There is a long discussion of importing csv here:

    https://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_messaging/topics/importing_windows_live_contacts

    Essentially, you must edit the csv in an editor of spreadsheet or csv file to make it compatible with the address book of TB.

  • How can I correct my address book so that it inserts the correct email address in the ' to: ' space?

    I can't locate the addresses in my address book because of a separate TBird problem which is apparently solved by technical experts, but I also have this AddressBook problem unrelated. When I start typing an e-mail address in the "to:" slot, Thunderbird end address since we can see it in the address book (but I don't). Then he words the address and insert it into the To: field. But, given that the address is blurred, it does not work. I have no idea that the address is blurred. It looks something like this when Thunderbird is done with it: "[email protected]@gmail.com."

    Removal and restoration of the profile makes no difference, as export/import of the contents of the address book as an .ldif file makes no difference. I asked this question before, but didn't get any help, so I try again.

    This means that a new type of auto-complete was introduced in the last version, but it has been insufficiently tested, and if several other previously hidden bugs have emerged. You can read the discussion (and add your vote for its importance) here:
