When the latest Thunderbird installed last week it lost every email and contact in my address book. I installed a new profile and downloaded >40,000 messages from my host server but my address book contents are still missing. Mozilla really should not do "updates" that give people such a massive headache. Even the simplest things were changed, like clicking once on the preview window marks a message as read when I don't want it to do that. Anyway, now to my questions: 1) How can I at least restore my contacts? I have tried using the import feature and it does not see my former profile. 2) I would really like to blow away all the unread email in the new profile and get my other profile mail imported so I can see what has been read and what has not. Much thanks for advice. - Phillip
