After your Release "Thunderbird Setup 2.0.0.5.exe" all my address data from the abook.mad disappeard and couldn't be read by the new version. I do have a Mailinglist to send out Newsletter for about 500 pepole. I organized it with my abook.mab. After the release, I updated the Thunderbird, opend "Adressbook" in the Topbar of the Programm and no addresses where in there. I checked the file, I checked tutorials on the web, but nothing worked, because every settings where correct.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
my adresses are lost

Expected Results:  
Would like to use my address again, without typing in all again
Title is wrong, sorry:
The address data from abook.mab are not imported in the newer version.
Summary: abook.mab not importat from old version → abook.mab not imported from old version
Actually there is no "import", it just uses the old data. If the addresses aren't there, the file is probably corrupted for some reason. I don't think there is much else to do, but to dig it out from a backup, if possible.
Summary: abook.mab not imported from old version → abook.mab corrupted after upgrade
Version: unspecified → 2.0
