RE: Password you must have selected the option for Thunderbird to remember the passwords when creating the account.

You can remove the stored passwords: Tools > Options > Security > Passwords tab or Menu icon > Options > Options > Security > Passwords tab

• Click on 'Saved Passwords'
• Click on 'Show Passwords'[
• Select both Mailbox and smtp passwords for the mail account.
• click on 'REmove'
• click on 'Close'
• click on OK to save changes.

• Close Thunderbird
• Wait for background processes to complete
• Restart Thunderbird.

It should prompt for password.

RE: Address Books

You can copy and paste the Personal Address Book and Collected Addresses directly into the Profile.

They are called 'abook.mab' and 'history.mab' respectively.

They are located here:

    C:\Users\Windows user name\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\Profile name\ 

The AppData folder is folder is a hidden folder; to show hidden folders, open a Windows Explorer window and choose "Organize → Folder and Search Options → Folder Options → View (tab) → Show hidden files and folders".

see second image below.

However, they will over write the current .mab files of same name.

There is another method to import mab files using this addon:

Open Address Book Tools > MorefunctionsforAddressBooks > Actions for address books > Import addressbook from mab file
