Exporting an address book with a mailing list
When exporting an address book, all addresses are exported, without being divided into mailing lists. How do I make the address book exported divided by mailing lists? The full address book list is exported, without mailing list categories.

If this is to transport to another thunderbird application, you can probably use the addressbook files from the profile. Otherwise, they're separate exports.
Deleting and replacing all files containing abook did not help. I imported files containing .sqlite using the standard mechanism, and it worked. Thanks for the help!

The mailing list needs to be exported separately.

I currently have over 300 mailing lists. Is it possible to export them together?

I need to transfer all the contacts over 3000 pieces with the mailing lists saved (over 300 pieces of lists) to set up in another employee's profile.
Okay, I haven't done this, but it seems workable: - exit thunderbird - copy every file beginning with 'abook' and paste into profile of other computer, also with thunderbird not running and restart. - let me know how it goes.

Now I can't find the files containing abook in the folder. Where could he have imported them and why can't I see them. For example, how can I import a more detailed version of such files?
I am puzzled. If the import worked okay, then you should see abook files in the root folder of the profile. Can you do a sceenshot of the profile folder of the other person's PC? Maybe I am misunderstanding.

Puzzling. Please remove the search and just do screenprint of the profile's root folder. Please also confirm that the addressbook contents are visible in Thunderbird on the PC. Thanks.

I found the files. The difference is in the number of addresses. Is it possible that the collected addresses are somehow affected?

When deleting all files containing abook, the collected addresses remain anyway.
collected addresses are in history.sqlite. Use the same tools>import>import from a file>addressbook menus to do that.
When deleting all these files, all the addresses were deleted.
I am confused. Those are the addressbooks and should not be deleted.

I deleted them to import other address books that contain mailing lists. Everything worked out. Deleted all files containing abook and history.sqlite. Then I imported the necessary abook files containing mailing lists. Everything is working. In principle, you can not delete existing address books, but simply import the necessary mailing lists. Thank you so much for your help.
I'm glad all is well. Thanks for the feedback. I was happy to assist. :)
