Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 221433

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Address Book & Contacts, defect)

If you have multiple addressbooks -- say, personal, business, spammers, etc..
and you upgrade mozilla.  In this case, 1.5a to 1.5rc2.  The addressbooks are no
longer displayed in the addressbook gui.  The files seem to exist in the profile
directory.  Mozilla also does not know how to import mozilla addressbooks.  I
think that this would make for a good workaround,but in the mean time, I suspect
that I will need to manually add them back into prefs.js.  


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Mozilla 1.3 - Mozilla 1.5a
2. Create and populate multiple addressbooks - saving them as files other than
abook.mab.
3. upgrade Mozilla to 1.5rc(?)

Actual Results:  
All addressbooks other than the default, abook.mab were no longer being
displayed in the addressbook gui.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should check for additional addressbooks and kept or updated its pref.js
to keep them.
