I can confirm this also for the Windows-Builds. 
The Address Book has regressed between 2005-08-18-05 and 2005-08-18-10, I have
tested this with Tinderbox-Builds from Creature. 

Bonsai-Query for Regression-Window (add one hour):

Possible Regression from Checkin for Bug 203927 but there is already an Patch
with r and sr, so we can wait a moment. 

Would like to add "regression" Keyword, but I have no "editbug" rights. Vitor,
can you please add the Keyword and change OS from Linux to "All" and Version to
Trunk?

Well, this nearly seven years ago filed Bug was really fixed in time. 

Tom, if you can not import or use an *.mab file with an current Build of SeaMonkey (or Thunderbird), it seems to be an new issue. In this case please file a new Bug, and while doing this, give the needed Information like described in:

Thanks for getting back to me.
