We need inform user as to what's going on when he/she drag&drops say a bunch of
addresses fromone addressbook to another. Today, the only way to find out is to
click on the other addressbook and look at the total count OR literally search
for the addresses you have copied which is the worst thing to be expected.

So, we need to throw feedback,

So, we need to throw feedback,

  * when the copying is done

Status bar can be used to do this.

Marking nsbeta1 because if the user is copying alot of addresses then it is
difficult to determine if anything is happening. 

Changing summary from "No visual feedback while copying addresses" to "No visual
feedback while copying many addresses".

Marking nsbeta1 to give users more feedback instead of thinking that the
application is not responding when it's actually in the process of copying.
