Moving Address Cards to New Address Book

Hi, I'm using Netscape 7.1. I created a new Address Folder in Netscape Mail, however I cannot drag existing cards to it; there seems to be no drag function at all. There is no right click function for the cards, I see nothing obvious in the Menu that allows me to do this, nor is there a field in the card's property window for it.

So how is this done? I will restrain myself (as best I can) from a 600 word rant about the utter uselessness of Netscape's inability to build a simple Help file that opens a Help window like every other program I have probably ever used. Are they trying to re-invent a square wheel or what? Thank God for Windows BBS.

 

Did you try select item in RIGHT panel -LEFT mouse button (HOLD) and drag to new book ( release) ?

Hi pcigno,

Left click and drag doesn't work, and you have no right click context menu when you right click an address?

Pages on the Address Book:
The Address Book
Using the Address Book
Corrupt, or Disappearing Netscape 7 / Mozilla Address Book

I have to wonder if your Address Book is corrupt. Try this, but first back up the Address Book (abook.mab):

With Netscape and Quick Launch closed:
Open the Address Book in Notepad, and look for obvious signs of corruption, such as long lines, blank spaces or binary garbage like this:
õ0OZ¬¬ÃŠÃ¡®ÃŽÅ½ÃPsTG¼{êAð†`÷oOáÑZHoqâmâ€Ã¦â„¢¿

This is most likely to appear at the end of the Address Book file. If found, delete the lines
Click on File | Save, and close the Address Book
Now Open Netscape and the Address Book
Can you left click and drag Addresses to your new Address Book, and do you have a right click context menu for an Address?

HTH,

Ramona

 

Yes Ramona, there was a blank space in there. It seems to be working now. Many thanks.
