Thunderbird Problem

[London Geezer]

From a friend:

HELP! Thunderbird has corrupted my address book

When I loaded Thunderbird 1.0 yesterday I received the following message:

Corrupt Address Book file
One of your address book files (abook.mab file) could not be read. A new abook.mab file will be created and a backup of the old file, called abook.mab.bak, will be created in the same directory.

As a result, I cannot access my address book.

I have tried going into c:/documents and settings/[username]/application data/thunderbird/profiles/[myprofile] and renaming the .bak file in order to try to open it, but without success.

I know I am stupid, but I have not backed up my address book since I imported it from Microsoft Outlook.

What can I do to restore/access my address book. Please help me!

Thanks!!
