I have accidentally accessed the Addressbook Toolbar a couple times, but can't reproduced the result. I understand that in the new releases the A;book Toobar is accessible only from a new icon/list in the upper right. Can't find that item on my screen. Neverthless I am certain that there is a convenient way to access that toolbar because I stumbled upon it. Just can't reproduce it. At least I now know that my persistant recollection of the easy access in all the past years was not my imagination. Now Who can help me deal with the "simple" procedure of accessing the Addressbook Toolbar in 60.0?


Just found that I can access Addressbook search from the Main screen: Edit/Find/Search Addressbook. I think that there must be a way to access the Addressbook Toolbar without going to the main TBIRD screen. Would appreciate any help, but am thankful that I am no longer dead in the water when needing to search Addressbook.


/While in Thunderbird I want to be able to search the Addressbook for specific value in a specified field such as First Name or Last Name. I could swear that I used to do it easily, but after reinstalling TBIRD I can't get the Addressbook screen to show a search option. Is my personal memory at fault? I can search the list of messages, but not the Addressbook

In Address Book, View/Toolbars/Address Book Toolbar. Press the Alt key if the Menu Bar is hidden. Also, Edit/Find/Search Addresses in the main window.
