Numerous posters have reported missing or empty Address Books. For many,
this was caused by the update KB911567 introduced on 4/11/06. See:

First, my computer conducted an "automatic update" last week with the
result I lost a complete folder of saved messages and my address book.
Luckily I backed up my address book (2173 entries) and only lost about 3
days worth of work.
Now for the "new" problems:
Before the update I had two address books. One was for personal contacts.
I created a "private" address book under the contacts. Problem is I
cannot create mail by selecting any of the entires in the private group.
The Private ground is a sub-group under the general Contacts heading.
Secondly, I cannot export my address book. Export under the file heading
is not highlighted.
