I am using Thunderbird 3.1.8 on my Windows 7 computer. I am having issue when starting it. The error messages appeared on the upper left corner of my Thunderbird window.
The first error is stating: “Personal Address Book.. File does not exist (C:Usersmypcdesktop_tb_abook.mab)”.
The second error has the same error but with added error stating: “Collected Address… File does not exist (C:Usersmypcdesktop_tb_history.mab)”.
And lastly, the error is stating: “Start download (local) –Personal Address Book… File does not exist and Collected Address… File does not exist”.
How can I resolve this? I am also seeing that my name in the files is spelled incorrectly. Why am I having this kind of issues? What are the causes and fix for this? Thanks.
