Re: What's the best way to purge the Addressbook?
Can you simply make a new address book. Copy entries over (by dragging) and then deleting the old address book when you have finished. Then, re-name the new version to what you want.

I'll test it and see if the addressbook filesize will be reduced after deleting the old entries, indicating that they are not just marked as deleted, but are actually removed from the file. -- Best regards, Costas Current version is 3.95.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

You can either create a new AB, you don't to take that from a fresh install or you delete all superfluous entries from your and then you create a backup from your AB and restore it.
