Sorry. There is not identified function that does that. However, this works: - exit thunderbird - access profile - open abook.sqlite with notepad the content isn't readable but with edit>find you can type in the name and you can find the email address embedded within the content. It's a little dirty, but it does work. Do NOT save anything or you will corrupt the addressbook.
