Two Address Books Missing

I went stupid and installed Thunderbird 78.0.1, not realizing what it was. I didn't like it so I uninstalled it, and found the version 68.10.0 I had been using before my fresh install of my Win 10 Pro. However, when I pointed it to my profile, it said a newer version had changed the profile and it could not open it.

I started fresh with a new profile, and after setting up the various email accounts, I copied in the mail folders from the old profile. Then I copied in abook.mab for personal and history.mab for collected. All this worked fine except two other additional Address books I had created, were missing. I looked trough the files in the old profile, but could not find any other .mab files, nor any files that looked like they might be those missing address books. I never opened the Address book when I had 78.0.1 installed, so I don't know if they were missing at that point or not. Thinking the contacts may be mixed in with the personal and the collected, I searched for some I knew - no joy.

So what should I look for in the old profile files? Reminder, I can't open the old profile in T-Bird, not even after reinstalling 78.0.1.

Worst case I can retrieve the email addresses for those two missing address books from the emails for those two corresponding accounts, but that is a lot of work.

I figured it out. The personal address book is abook.mab and its corresponding abook.sqlite file. The additional address books created by me are abook-1.mab and abook-1.sqlite, -2 set and -3 set. I had to add new address books in AddressBook in order for them to show. then make sure the names of the new address books corresponded with the entries that listed, so a bit of renaming did the trick. Once I got it all sorted out, I exported each one to.csv files for safety, including the personal and collected.

Done!
