Hi,
I suddenly have the above problem,, and cannot solve it. I'm running
Windows XP, SP 3, and the latest SeaMonkey. A Google search revealed
that many people have this problem, and there is no solution out there.
I can pick up some of the e-mail addresses from previous e-mails, but
probably not all. The addresses are important to me. I do a full monthly
backup, but in the past with a similar problem, a download to my hard
drive from the external backup dd not help, as it gave a long text
listing of the names and URLs, not the hierarchal lists in the address
book.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Mort, what's the problem?? Are you saying that when you are composing an
email, you are unable to open your email address book?? What do you see??
If this is not your problem, can you have another go at explaining it??
Hi Daniel,
I'm running the latest SeaMonkey and Windows XP Pro. My e-mail section
has a personal address book and a collected address book. Suddenly,
without warning, when I turn on SeaMonkey and then click on the e-mail
icon, I get an on-screen announcement "Cannot download personal address
book abook.mab. It is either write only, or is tied up by another
program." The personal address book bar is absent. Searching for the
abook.mab gives no answers.
Now, many of my e-mail addresses are in the collected list, but not all.
Some cannot be retrieved from old e-mails because many of those were
deleted.
I searched on line for this malady, and found many posts from people who
have the problem. However, every suggestion of how to fix it was
followed by posts that the fix did not work.
I have antivirus, antispyware, and a firewall.
Where did the missing file go? Why? Mostly, how can I get it back?
Thanks a lot.
Mort
