I must make assumptions, since there are no details here.

  1. - click help>troubleshootinginformation on old PC
  2. - scroll to 'profile folder' and click 'open folder'
  3. - exit thunderbird
  4. - copy the abook.sqlite and history.sqlite files to external media
  5. repeat the first three steps on receiving PC
  6. - past the abook.sqlite and history.sqlite to overlay the current versions
  7. - restart thunderbird
