Can I import all contacts from my Emails to address book
I have restored my email messages after a system crash, but lost all addresses in my address book. Can I import all addresses from emails in local folders into my address book ? (Senders, copied and sent to email addresses )
Thanks, Meir

Located this addon which seems to be a more up to date version of the above link. 5.1 version of Email Address Crawler. Go to this link and scroll down to locate the download.
How did you "restore" your lost email messages?
Did you recover your old profile? If not, and it is still intact, your addresses may all be in there. If you can find files with a *.mab extension, you can copy-and-paste history.mab and abook.mab (Collected Addresses and Personal Address Book, respectively) into a new profile. Other *.mab files will need to be imported. I'd recommend this:

If you really need to trawl email messages for email addresses, then this add-on from the same site can help. Of course it can't recover street addresses or phone numbers for you.
I recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 - wrongly assuming that Thunderbird would migrate intact. When I installed a new version of Thunderbird I had, of course, lost all of my old saved email folders and my address book. My address book had been backed up, but typing in all of the addresses would have been a pain. I had not been regularly backing up my old emails - but then looked around for advice on where to find them in the new Windows 8.1 installation. The process is actually easier than the various forms of advice suggested. My old profile was safely stored in the Windows.old folder at Users\"myname"\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles in the 'default' file. All that I had to do was to open the old 'default' profile by double clicking on it, 'select all', then paste into the new 'default' file in the same named location in the new Users section in Windows Explorer. When this process is done with Thunderbird closed, re-opening Thunderbird will reveal all of the old folders of saved email messages, the address book etc etc. The easiest way to ensure that a backup of all the Thunderbird 'profile' information including old emails, the address book etc, is made regularly would then be to keep a copy of the new Users\"myname" directory because the profile is updated every time that Thunderbird is closed.
