I recently upgraded to Thunderbird 4.1.0. Since that time my address book does not open when I try to address an email from the "To" or other lines. I have to manually open the address book and cut and paste the address. How can I reconnect the address book to the email program?

I have never seen the address book open when clicking To. But you are on such an old version maybe I missed seeing that. The latest version is 34. Open a write window and turn on the contact sidebar by pressing F9. Use that to address the emails.
