If I delete any of the .mab files from one user profile and replace it with a symbolic link that points to the same file in the other profile will this synchronise my address books for the two profiles. I have win7. The object is to have two Windows User accounts sharing all the same email data. I have already have them pointed at the same message store. I also wish to know if deleting a .mab file will only cause it to be re-created. I am hesitant to experiment. Thanks

Deleting any of the two default mab files, abook.mab (Personal Address Book) or history.mab (Collected Addresses) will result in new, empty files with these names being recreated automatically when TB is restarted.
