You might try this: - tools>import>import from a file>import addressbook and then select abook.sqlite
but from and older thunderbird correct
there is nothing thee how do i open it
I encourage you to try it.
The file I mentioned was abook.sqlite
my question do i m do it with my current Thunderbird account which has no addresses or do i go to an older one where they are most likely contacts???
it asks me how do i want to oen the file what do i use to open it
it asks how do i want to open this file and give the following choices look for aps in windows store. or this is the liist i get look in IE, MPC_HC 64bit, Notepad, Paint, Windows media player Word pad or look for other aps on this pc See i told you i do not know what to do
where and how do put the file
can you remote and do it for me
in that same profile there is a squlite v2
Mary, Here are the steps: - start Thunderbird with your new profile that has no addresses, the one where you want the addresses to be - click tools>import>import from a file>import addressbook>SQLITE database - in next window, navigate to the desired abook.sqlite file and click OK. - Thunderbird will prompt on whether you want the addresses to be added to Personal Addresses (the default) or to Collected Addresses. Click your preference and press Enter key - The addresses will then be imported into your profile.
For the future, I encourage you to do tools>export periodically so that you will have a backup in case of future problems.
