Hi Nelson, Here is a link that might help recover the profile of the AB that was lost: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Talk:Recovering_a_missing_profile A similar question was asked recently regarding exporting addresses in email. Here is my answer to them: As far as I know, the only way would be to open the email and press Ctrl-U to view the source, then copy the email addresses that way. You can export your current address book as a CSV and open it to view how it's laid out. Excel will place each field in a column, but a plain text editor will use commas for each field. You can use whichever you're more comfortable with and then import the file into your AB when done. Terry R. -- Anti-spam measures are included in my email address.

Keywords in the address book
The address book format would be vastly more useful if keywords could be embedded in the record, so a search could be done for, say, all people interesting in quilting. However, there is no keyword field, the custom fields are not listed in the search tool, and the workaround is to pick a field which is searchable and use that (like title). However, all of the searchable fields are actually useful for real data, so that's not an ideal solution.
