    Hello all,
    I am using Thunderbird email client for communication purpose. Yesterday when I opened my Thunderbird address book, due to some problems my address books got deleted and I received an error message like “Unable to load address book abook.mab. It can only be in read-only, or locked by any other application.” I do not know how to backup Thunderbird email address book. Can anyone help me for doing this?

    Hello,
    Based on your query you can access a manual method for backup Thunderbird contacts by replacing address book from parent account to other. For that, follow the steps given below.

    1. Open Thunderbird profile. Go to Address Book icon.
    2. Select the address book which you want to export then click Tool >> Export
    3. Choose the storage location and Select CSV format. click Save button.

    Now switch to another account where you want to export the contacts.

    1. Then click Tool >> Import >> Address Book.
    2. Select the text file from the window and open the csv file from the storage location.

    Likewise you can import address books to new profile from here you can access the contacts.

    Hello,
    Thank you for your opinion. But I have one doubt. Can I convert my Thunderbird contacts to PST in bulk, so that I can access my Thunderbird address book in Outlook?
