exported file in csv format has right name and all contactss that existed at the last export from version 2.3.1, but not the new ly added contacts since upgrade to 2.3.3 or 2.4. 

should export all contacts to the file selected including the new ones that were added since last export of all contacts. Tried deleting old file, export created new one without the new contacts. One was added last week and one today before doing export..

I'll move this bug somewhere more likely to get some attention.

Do these updated contacts display correctly in address book?

Yes it was in addressbook but exported csv did not have the new contact added to the mailing list. 

Also noticed wrong version of seamonkey is call out in original report . Was originally failing in 3.4.2 and 3.4.3 from SUSE repos. Recently downloaded 3.4.3 from seamonkey repo (native version) and it may be working. I have a meeting soon and I work on verifying it after I get back. 

Thanks for looking at this.

Update and clear confusion:
Seamonkey is 2.4.3. Correct addresses are in address book.
LibreOffice spreadsheet is 3.4.2 from openSUSE repo.
                        is 3.4.3 from LibreOffice web site. 

Will now spend time and go thru the export and check spreadsheets with latest SeaMonkey update (2.4.3) Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:7.0) Gecko/20110922 Firefox/7.0 SeaMonkey/2.4.

Response to comment 4.

Ran test yesterday. My addressesbook contains three contacts added after upgrading Seamonkey from 2.3.1 to 2.3.3 to 2.4.x(presently 2.4.3). Since 2.3.3 these have not been exported when using export --> CSV. 

1. Yesterday I deleted all old version of the exported .csv's of my personal addressbook. I then went to addressbook, personal addressbook, checked new contacts were their, then selected Tools --> Export.

2.Selected the folder to export to, named the file, and changed LDIF to Comma separated. Then Saved the file.

3. opened the file in LibreOffice (3.4.3) spreadsheet, got text inport window for .csv, imported it.  Then did find on the three names. One was there because it was there before upgrades and was just an email address change, but the other two were not there at all, both added after upgrades.

I hate to attach spreadsheet since it has a lot of personal information that I do not have permission to release.

Did some additional testing and problems appears to be in the LibreOffice spreadsheet. If I open the .csv with koffice2-kspread or gnumeric the missing contacts are there. If I open it with kwrite they are there. If I try lilberoffice-calc they do not appear. 

Thanks for your help.

This is too old to be actionable, and it's also wfm per reporter's comment 8.
