Can't export
 

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.

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

Possibly the address book and message folders/files are read only??
