In 'Address Book' Select an address book - Not 'All Address Books'. Tools > Export choose where to save give file a suitable name Save as eg: Comma separated.csv

Export each address book individually.

If you try to export the 'All Address Books' option as Comma separated.csv to read in eg: Excel, you will find it is blank and will offer a read only mode. You may also discover you cannot delete that file until you close Thunderbirds 'Address Book' window.
