I recently (on the 28th Nov '23) updated TB to the latest version. It was so awful though that I uninstalled it and reinstalled version 60.9.1. However, now my address book is empty. I did have an old csv file which I was able to import, but it's quite old and missing a lot of addresses added more recently. Where did the saved email addresses go? Are they likely to still be out there somewhere? Thanks, Ian

Depending on how completely you uninstalled, it may still be in an unused profile. I'm not familiar with version 60, but if the setup is the same, look in c:\users\<yourid>\appdata\roaming\thunderbird\profiles This will have one or more profile folders. Look in each for a file named abook.sqlite. If in more than one profile, the larger one or recently updated one would be it. If you find it, it doesn't work with version 60.
