I installed Thunderbird and is synced with my old PC on the network but didn't sync the Address Book. I had a few groups so I just exported to the cloud and imported them into the Address Book of the new PC. I don't now how the other PAB got there. What do I do?

Imported address books always go in a new book. Open the new book. Select one contact. Press control+a to select all. Drag and drop on Personal Address book folder.

Thanks Airmail. I may have a couple more questions as I get this new machine running the way I want.

I deleted my original installation of Thunderbird on my new PC and tried to follow the instructions above. While it was a bit confusing, I'm pretty sue I did it according to the instructions but it basically brought back my original incorrect installation. Any ideas for me?

Thanks,

John

Thank you!!! This worked for me: Imported address books always go in a new book. Open the new book. Select one contact. Clicked Edit tab, Select all. Drag and dropped on Personal Address book folder.
