How/why can Google pick up address information entered only in my Thunderbird client?
I notice that when I enter a new email contact in Thunderbird, Google has synched it by the next day to my Android device contacts list. I'd expect this to happen if I were managing my email on the Gmail web site, but am not too enthused about Google rummaging around in my Thunderbird client software. Is this a default setting, and can it be changed?

Are you sending your mail using a Google SMTP server. I think you are. That is how they get to add the sent mail to your sent folder on their wen site. Mail in the sent folder has all the relevant email addresses.
So I think your making a conspiracy involving Thunderbird out of something Google does with data you provide them.
Alternatively if you have installed one of the Google contact Sync add-ons then of course Thunderbird will be syncing contact to Google
You are correct about the server. As I usually send a message to new contacts (that generally being the reason for entering them), that explains how the information is picked up.
Thanks for the explanation.
(Btw, I was not at all positing a 'conspiracy,' of any kind -- what made you think that?)
I was trying to be funny. Sorry.
