I used to backup my address book to a CSV file but now when I click on Export it wants to also back up all my emails etc. I only want my personal address book backed up. Now when I click on Address Book, Tools & Export, I get a Export screen saying" Export accounts, messages, address books and setting to a ZIP file. (Screen reads)"If your current profile is larger than 2 GB, we suggest you back it up by yourself." When I click on Address Book my bar shows New Address Book/ New Contact/New List and Import but no Export. Wondering if there is a way to add that tab that would perhaps allow me to export.back up to a CSV file? Thanking you in advance for any advise. Gary

David thank you for your reply. Unfortunately when I did what you mentioned about highlighting & right clicking I only got a pop up window saying to Write, Print or Delete. I wonder if it is the version I am running. 102.7.2 So I started monkeying around & accidentally figured it out.

I clicked on Tools, then Address Book and then with hovering my cursor over Personal Address Book or Collected Addresses on the left side of my screen, 3 dots appeared to the right in the box. I clicked on these 3 dots and Properties, Print & Export appear. Hooray. Pay Dirt. Export.

Thanks David for replying. That way I kept trying. Gary
