where are the other address books that I had? Now personal, only
The original Personal Address book was unused and I had another Griffith Yahoo address book. I uploaded lots of data to that. It and another historical address book have disappeared with the latest update. I'm totally fouled up with the lost addresses. Help to find the old book. The reason for the old Personal not being used was it didn't track my Emails sent.

Not sure what you are or are not seeing.
When you open the address book window do you have the Directory Pane displayed with your address books listed?
View-Layout-Directory Pane will turn it on if it is not showing now.
By default the personal address book is for adding the contacts that you use most. The Collected Address book is what collects addresses from your outbound mail. This can be changed but I cannot think of a good reason to add all outbound addresses to the personal book. You can always go through the collected book and move any important addresses into your main book periodically.
One last guess, are you missing the Contact Sidebar in your Write window when trying to create a new email? Press F9 to turn that on.

Wonderful- all my address books are there. Just clicking on the View-Layout-Directory Pane solved the current problem. Many Thanks. I had imported a lot of my Directory contacts from the XP computer to that address book. It's not great buy at least I had a storage spot. Again - thank you.
