Can I copy a newly imported address book into the main Personal Address Book or swap main address books ?
I have imported my address book from another computer via my my external hard disk. Unfortunately, the new address book does not appear by default, only the empty "Personal Address Book". Can I resolve this ?

Open the imported book in the main address book window. Click one contact to select it. Press control+a to select all. Drag the selected contacts to the personal book folder and drop them there.

What does "I have imported my address book" mean? Imported from where? How? If it doesn't appear in Thunderbird then it hasn't been fully imported. ;-)

Sounds good. Thank you very much. I'll try this tomorrow.

Thank you for your reply. I backed up my address book from my main laptop to an external drive. Then I copied this onto my second laptop (i.e. my fallback computer) as a file. Then I imported it into Thunderbird Address Book on the second laptop using "Tools / Import".

I've done this and it worked. Many thanks.
