Accidenatlly deleted most of my main address book. Ran restore from my backups and I see the .mab files but my main address book was not restored. How do I convert the .mab files to either .ldif or .csv files? From there I can easily import into TBird.

Thanks.

The two default address books, abook.mab (Personal Address Book) and history.mab (Collected Addresses) can be copied directly into the profile folder, overwriting the existing abook.mab and history.mab.

To import other mab file address books, use MoreFunctionsForAddressBook (How to install).

In Address Book, Tools/MFFAB/Actions for addressbooks/Import addressbook from mab file.
