HD crashed - replaced computer. Restored all directories/files & downloaded Thunderbird to new computer, but TB Address book needs to point to the directory which has all the previous data. How do I do this?

Find your current profile. Copy abook.mab and history.mab across to it from the back-up.

If you have any user-defined address books, which will have names such as abook-1.mab, you'll need this add-on to import them:

Thanks - That worked perfectly. Now how can I import my calendar data from my restored file into my newly re-installed Lightning?

Thanks in advance, Nick Krill
