abook.mab recover restore corrupt Thunderbird0

- make a copy of abook.mab.bak and call it, for example, test.mab, then save it wherever you want1

- install this extension --> http://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html

- once installed, open addressbook, go in Tools --> Actions for addressbook --> Import mab and import test.mab2

- now you should have a new addressbook, but probably you don't see nothing inside3

- select it right-clicking and choose "Restore/Recover"4

- you'll have another new addressbook that could have your addresses5

I don't know if in your case it can work, but you can try.6

Let me know.

Ciao, Paolo
