I am using my e-mail account on different computers. How can i find all my collected and stored adresses when i set up Thunderbird on a new computer? I also want my signature to automatically integrate in the new computer.

The address book files in the profile folder are abook.sqlite (Personal Address Book) and history.sqlite (Collected Addresses). Copy them into the new profile folder, while TB is closed, overwriting the existing files. Help/Troubleshooting, Profile Folder, Open Folder, to open the profile in File Explorer.

If you have other address books besides the two defaults, export them from Address Book in LDIF format, and import them on the other computer (Tools/Export or Import).

What @sfhowes describes is NOT sharing, that is how to copy / distribute. "Sharing" means "using the same". I am also looking for the "address book sharing" option between a laptop and a stationary. Cheers Bjarne
