I am trying out Pegasus (under XP) and when having problems importing
address books from SeaMonkey, I have not yet found a way to find out more,
or make changes to, Pegasus addressdbooks.

A link to Reindex addressbook does nothing. (What is a Reindex
addressbook?)

A link to Addressbook properties shows only a few things that affect
messages, nothing about the address book itself.

Any suggestions?

What do you want to find out? What kind of "changes" do you want to
make?

Adding, editing, and deleting entries should be obvious, I think.

Importing address books is most reliable using tab-delimited text
format. You can add some test entries in Pegasus, then export as tab-
delimited text to see the exact format.

I suggest you refine or narrow your question. It's too vague to answer
as is.

Thanks guys, your comments answered my question - Pegasus is not for me.

I'm using Mozilla's SeaMonkey and am spoiled by its address books. Each
address record has over 10 fields and I can choose to display and sort on
any one field to help in selecting addresses for messages. Fields include
things like name, email, alt email, dept, nickname, etc. I'm also used to
having sub groups of addresses within an address book.

Ah well, Pegasus' versatility with messages themselves was attractive.
