   peter,   
      
   I closed both the browser and the mail programs and used Explorer to   
   copy the above seven files a second time to the new .slt folder. Each   
   time I was asked if I wanted to replace the existing file in the new   
   .slt folder, I answered Yes, even though the one I was copying today was   
   identical (size, date, time) to the one I was copying over from   
   yesterday. My Personal address book now has all the addresses that it   
   should, but the other four address books remain empty. Any other   
   suggestions?   
      
   Thanks,
