I appreciate your response, Joost, but it still does not solve the problem. I have named the new (clean) install the same thing and the user and password are the same. My question still stands, "Is there a proper way to move the addresses?" The directory (Am I allowed to call it that now that we are talking about a Unix OS?) structure appears different and the files are named differently in Jag as in 10.1.x. What is the recommended way to get the new address book to recognize the old addresses? Thank! j.
