I have suffered a devastating trauma and haven't a clue why. Every entry in my Address Book has suddenly vanished into thin air! I couldn't believe my eyes. I noticed this after I upgraded Camino 1.5.4 to 1.6.3. I'm desperate to restore my address book. I've looked in every cranny of my HD without success. Does anyone out there know how to restore my will to live?

I'm running Mac OS 10.3.9 on G3 iBook with ample space and memory.

What kind of backup do you have? Do have your addresses still on me.com?
