Default Adderss Book

[md]

Hello,
I've successfully at imported multiple address books of multiple
flavors. The most painful (make that the most bitter tasting) no doubt,
goes to the MS/Outlook type(s). But it does work after the
hoop-jumping. Hopefully this will be resolved in the not so distant
future...

My question is; How do I tell Mozilla to use a particular address book
as my default?

Thanks,

Hi md,

Close all running Mozilla instances!!!

1) Open the file 'prefs.js' with an editor.

2) Look for a line like this one:
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.test.description", "My Test Address Book");
Where "My Test Address Book" is the name you see as your address book's
name and '.test.' is just an example. Find out how this attribute is
called in your case.

3) Find an entry called: user_pref("ldap_2.servers.test.position", 3);
Where '.test.' is what ever you have as an attribute (see number 2).
Also the number (in the example 3) might be something else.

If you don't have such a line, then just add one

4) Change: user_pref("ldap_2.servers.test.position", 3);
to
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.test.position", 1);

5) Check out if there is another entry:
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.xxxxxxxxx.position", 1);
If that is the case then change it to a free position number. The
easiest way is to change it to the number your address book had before
(in my example 3)

6) Now save 'prefs.js' and open Mozilla address book. You should see
your preferred address book now on the first position and it is the
default one, now.
