Hello friends,
You can tell me how Exporting email addresses from Thunderbird.

I need to format "username" and "email0" "email1" .....

thank you

As far as i remember, Thunderbird uses the mbox-format: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mbox
I should read more carefully - sorry.

My point is, decrypt the file:
C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\P rofiles\<profile_name>\abook.mab

Take a look at this wiki-article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mork_%28file_format%29
There are also links to the description of the format.

The Thunderbird address book is stored in a format called "Mork". It's a very sick fileformat. Don't waste your time trying to write MORK File I/O routines. Use the Thunderbird import/export functions.

Also read on wikipedia:

"...the single most braindamaged file format that I have ever seen in my nineteen year career"

oops,
and is there any possibility to programmatically export the contacts?

Now I thought that the file can be found in the @ sign and read from the recording marks to marks =)
Somehow use the Pos () and Find

There is a plugin available for Thunderbird which adds export/import functionality to the context menu. There is a chance that you will also get the source code.
