I have done a new installation from the web site and copied the "abook.mab" and both "exported" and "imported " the ldif file from/to the laptop to the desktop. Just a few of the "Personal Addresses" appear in the desktop Address Book but none of the Collected addresses. How can this be corrected?

history.mab is collected addresses.

Close Thunderbird copy the abook and History mab files to replace the new ones in the new profile and start Thunderbird. It should "Just work"
