That should work, if not -
If your address book is not listed, you can export it to either a text ( . csv) file or a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) or Lightweight Directory Interchange Format (LDIF) file, and then import it using that file type .


How to Save(Export) Your Address Book .

1 . Launch Netscape and choose the "Address Book" option from the Communicator Menu .
2 . Click on Personal Address Book . Then click the file menu and choose "Export" .

3 . Use the "Save in" combo box to locate the desktop . The file name can be anything you like . Be sure to select an appropriate "Save as type" . LDIF should work just fine for backup purposes . If you plan on moving this address book to another mail client, you might choose CSV or TXT .

Thanks all for trying
