Hi, I have loaded Thunderbird onto a new laptop and it is working fine, but my address book has not transferred across, none of them, it is completely blank. How do I transfer my address book from my desktop version to the laptop? Thanks!

The address books transfer when you do it. It is not automatic. Here is a good tutorial on exporting and importing address books. http://its.isber.ucsb.edu/guides/how-import-and-export-your-address-book-thunderbird
