Some of us can write 10,000 page epistles on Thunderbird, which, upon
reading, won't even approach use-cases, or specific scenarios you might
have.
I want to see if I can set up my groups and all of my addresses in
Thunderbird
You can setup address books for Thunderbird.
However, the file format used for address books is defiantly not human
readable, and, arguably, not machine readable. Outside of very old
versions of Firefox, oldish versions of SeaMonkey, Thunderbird, and,
allegedly, LibreOffice, but not Apache OpenOffice, nothing can correctly
read the address book.
Adding insult to injury,
is not very good at importing foreign address books.
You can setup groups for Thunderbird.
I've forgotten the associated caveats. :(
and stop using Outlook.
Whether or not Thunderbird can replace Outlook for you, depends upon
what you use Outlook for, and how you use it for that purpose.

A program called FossaMail is a fork of an older version of Thunderbird,
available for Windows and Linux. It is possible to print the address
book out of FossaMail.
Also, it will not change every six weeks, like Thunderbird! I have been
using it on Linux for a couple of months, and I like it, having gotten a
bit PO'd at Thunderbird.
Try it and see for yourself--it's free.
