MAB is the .MAB file extension, also known as the Mozilla Address Book, used by Mozilla Thunderbird as well as the SeaMonkey Internet suite for address book storage. It stores contact information for a user, including email address, physical address, phone numbers, and Notes. This address book stores records in a VCard format based on a plain-text format commonly used in email clients.
Features
The MAB file provides several features for managing contact information. It allows users to store multiple contact details along with contact notes. Additionally it can store fields such as "nickname", company name, and website URL. The files are stored with encryption for security, unique IDs for tracking contacts, as well as colorful user interface backgrounds.
This file type also supports similar file types, like mabx, abook, and .ldif, which are used by various email clients. Similar file types are useful when switching among different email programs.
- mabx: Eudora Address Book
- abook: Apple Address Book
- .ldif: LDAP interchange file format

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .MAB) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .MAB extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .MAB file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .MAB extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .MAB extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .MAB file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .MAB file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .MAB file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .MAB file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .MAB file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
