Address book contents in Mail disappeared??

Help...when I wish to add another recipient to a email I am composing, I used to be able to click on the Address Book icon in Mail and add addresses without a problem with a simple click. Now, for some mysterious reason, when I click on it, nothing happens...zilch!

Any solutions/incantations would be appreciated...

Can you see the addresses in address book?

Try moving the preference file to the desktop, then launching Mail.
It's located in /users/<you>/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist

Exclamation Now what a mess I have...

I appreciate your quick response...

In order to log into mail, I now need my .mac.com password, which I do not have written down since I only used the free trial and didn't think I'd ever need it again. How would I retrieve it? Please reply to gyrlph@yahoo.com

Need a rescue...thanks.

Got 'er all fixed up...

I checked accounts in mail prefs and noticed I had no POP account anymore, due to the "address book" fix you sent me. I re-did that and voila, everything works. The Mail address book now works superbly, BTW

Many thanks. I learned than I had planned with your encouragement...
