Problem saving database in AddressManager

[Gerold Rupprecht]

Dear readers,

I ran out of disk space while I had GNUMail and AddressManager open. I
had been editing a person when I realized I had a problem, being
unable to save my changes.

I cleaned up the disk space problem first.

I then looked for where the database information is stored. You will
find it under:

~/GNUstep/Library/Addresses

(you may want to add this to your backup scripts)

The database stores each entry in a separate file named along the
lines of:

99.mfaddr

I also found three other files:
LOCK
ME
NEXTID

I removed these files and was then again able to make changes to the
person record I had been editing.

Hope this might be helpful to other users.

Best regards,

Gerold
