On my computer 1 in Thunderbird tool bar I scroll down Tool menu and the last post is Import/export tool. When I am now installing Thunderbird in my Computer 2 and look at Tool menu the last post is "Alternativ" the Import/export tool is missing. How do I do to get it on this menu. Both computer has the same version 31.6.0

Please advice

The only tools that I know of having both Import and Export, as separate choices, is in the Address Book window. Tools in the main window always only has an Import choice. Did you download and install the add on Import/Export Tools on your other system? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/?src=search
