You can export and import all sorts of things between different instances of Thunderbird.

This sounds like a question about Exporting and Importing an "Address Book".
You can have multiple Address Books.
One of the Address Books is the main address book and has a known filename.
*******Tools : Address Book ?
*******"Import Address Book (hosed computer)"

One of the reasons SQLite files can be more robust than regular files (Abook.mab), is the files are journaled. And there are two files next to a SQLite file, that provide recovery information. If for any reason, the GUI method of retrieval was not working (as LDIF or CSV), then the SQLite file can be used.
Moving the entire profile folder, from the TB115 machine to the TB128, should have worked too, and that would have brought email and addresses and whatever else. That is generally how I have been moving stuff around here.
*******Maybe someone who has done this, can write you a better answer. That's just the barest of backgrounds.
