Where is the address book on Thunderbird for Mac?
I have a Mac running Catalina. My Thunderbird got messed up and I deleted it and reinstalled it. My old Thunderbird had addresses broken into several subgroups that worked great. Now, all I can get is my entire address book alphabetically.
Where is the address book stored? What I want to do is go into my old profile, retrieve the address book and move it to my new profile.
I hope I made myself clear.

Hello there joemac8. We have read your message. We try to help you.

Here is the location: C:\Users\<Windows user name>\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\<Profile name>\
'profile name' folder is usually named 'xxxxxxxx.default' folder, where the x's are letters and numbers.
Image below shows location of .mab files. abook.mab is the default created 'Personal Address Book' history.mab is default created 'Collected Addresses' other *.mab files are ones you created.
You may need to make hidden files and folders visible. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
For Mac to go to your adresboek:
File -> Use Mac Catalina Address Book
But if there is a security setting on Catalina that has to be set to allow the address book to be used. check this as well then System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy
You'll see a few Apps and System Functions where you can allow other apps to access them.
Just copy and paste.
