Yes, with some work on your part.
Email is automatically synchronized if you use IMAP on all the machines.
Address Book synchronization can be achieved by synchronizing to a 'net-based address book service. I use Google Contacts and the gContactSync add-on in Thunderbird.
You haven't asked about the calendar, but you can also synchronize the Lightning calendar in Thunderbird to a service such as Google Calendar.
I am able to share email, address books and my calendar between Thunderbird (on LInux and Windows 7) and also on Android-based tablets and phones.
if you want to do it the hard way, you can synchronize Thunderbird on multiple computers by porting its profile between them.
You might also want to consider running Portable Thunderbird from a USB thumbdrive, and just carry your email about with you.
