may trash your Address Book database

During the last half year I had three reports
of users completely losing the contents of their
Address Book while working with Serial Mail. The
problem is not related to Serial Mail, it is due to a
bug in Mac OS X, presumably the SyncService. There
are many
reports of this problem in the Apple
discussion group. From these reports it
appears that the problem comes form a sync (like
iSync) conflicting with another application
trying to access the Address Book.
As a precaution when using Serial Mail, please backup
your Address Book database. It is just one click to
the File menu of the Address Book application.
