Mozilla Thunderbird email application stores its contacts in Abook.mab and Abook.sqlite files.

Older Thunderbird application stores address book contacts in MORK format. And the contacts are saved in a file named as abook.mab.

Whereas in new version of Thunderbird email application contacts are saved as sqlite database files and are stored in abook.sqlite file. When Thunderbird saves a contact in abook.sqlite file then for safe contacts writing it creates few temporary files as abook.sqlite-shm and abook.sqlite-wal.

To read the contacts from abook.mab file and abook.sqlite file you can take help of 4n6 MBOX Converter application.
