I have no Tools menu showing in Address Book window. The Tools menu in Thunderbird main window has an Import option but no Export option. Customize has nothing relevant either!

So how can I export my address book or any address list within it?

re :I have no Tools menu showing in Address Book window.

Open 'Address Book' Press 'Alt' key on keyboard to get a temporary 'Menu Bar' then set as permanent 'View' > 'Toolbars' > select 'Menu bar'

Select the address book you want to export. now you should be able to use the 'Tools' > Export' option

Please note that you cannot export 'All Address Books' as it is not a real address book.
