It seems that TB cannot import adbook.mab directly.
One must first export it as one of the various text type files or vcard format.

This is strange, in the sense that TB cannot decode it's own created file format
and import it without burdening the user to do the exporting - especially since
the .mab file might come from a long dead account.
But that is very easy to workaround.

1.  Take note of all the mab files in your T-Bird directory.
2.  Add a new address book
3.  Find the new mab file which is created
4.  Quit T-bird
5.  Copy old mab to the new mab, or just do a move
6.  Start T-Bird
7.  Done  (And I have done that many times)

So I have to end up with many .mab files?

Does TB look into all of them when you start typing a recipient name and tries to auto-complete?
