i think i have stuffed up.... in a big way

i made a backup of my mail directory in thunderbird and didnt do the addressbook

i have restored my system and i have setup my email and i have all my emails back just fine


but no addresses....


if i was suppoed to backup my address book before i wiped everything... im stuffed now...


can anyone tell me is there a backup in the profile directory that i backed up at all or is it a seperate entity???

the addressbook is another file and not in your mail folder, however it is in the thunderbird profile folder.

These knowledge base articles should answer most of your questions.

thanks for the info guys..


as it turns out i have managed to collect the required address i was missing from my sent items and re added them to my address book and have saved the address book
lucky i dont delete anything i guess

it pays to be a hoarder some times


*sigh*

live and learn

it's always good to have backups

i do.... but i only backed up the mail directory.

anyhow. i will backup the address book more regularly
