[DM-MUG] Addressbook on iMac running 10.5.6 won't open up

[CW Smith]

Victoria:
I've had similar issues migrating Mail to a new machine. Turned out to be
corruption in the user library.

Try this and see whether it helps:

• Migrate to [your hard drive] / Users / [your user folder] / Library /
Application Support / Address Book.
• Find the file named "AddressBook-v22.abcddb" and drag it somewhere safe,
like your desktop.
• Open Address Book. When Address Book doesn't see the file you moved, it
will create a new one and then open normally.

Did this help?

Peace,
CW
