How to get Thunderbird to use a specific address book?

I imported my address book from Windows Live Mail. to Thunderbird When I click on "address book" in Thunderbird, it shows me 3 different address books - 'personal address book' (which is empty), 'address book 2-5-15' (which is the one I imported) and 'collected addresses' (which is the emails it has collected so far from emails I sent in the last couple of days since switching to Thunderbird). When I am creating a new email, how can I get Thunderbird to look at 'address book 2-5-15'? I have over 2000 contacts in there but I can't figure out how to get Thunderbird to use it!  :-(

See screenshot attached.

Well, the column where email addresses should appear is empty, so it seems to have been a faulty or incomplete import.

Ah, thank you! I had not noticed that. I re-imported with correct columns and it's working now.
