My office has several computers all hooked into Mozilla Thunderbird, however, when we do address books, they only show up on the one computer they were created on. I can't access my address books on any computer but my own, even under the same address. Is there a way to make all address books distribute throughout all our PCs when someone creates one?

Typically one would set up a LDAP server with a global corporate address book. You'd then point Thunderbird to that global address book. http://kb.mozillazine.org/LDAP_access_via_Address_Book

Alternatively you could possibly set up a shared address book via Google Contacts, and use this add-on to sync to the server. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/gcontactsync/

However, it may not be desirable to create a corporate address book on a Google server.
