Steps to reproduce:

I'm using LDAP for address book.
When I send a mail to someone who was found int he LDAP address book, the address gets added to "Collected Addresses" (CAB)
Very similar to bug #58769 but that was fixed many years ago and that works fine with "Personal addresses".

Actual results:

Thunderbird creates a much less detailed contact card for the contact than available in the LDAP entry. (Email + Name only.)

Expected results:

It should not create anything in Collected Addresses (CAB).

Thanks in advance!

Hello Ferenc, thank you for this bug report.
I believe you that this happens and I would consider that a bug, too.
In order to reproduce this issue, I'm now looking for a live LDAP server with one or two email addresses which I can use to write some actual test messages to - seems that TB will not yet collect addresses with Send later, but only when a message gets really sent out.

Unfortunately, this has been a problem since time immemorial... We should really fix that, because it makes retrieving addresses from LDAP useless when there are dozens of collected outdated duplicate addresses showing up...
Thanks to standard8 for pointing out the duplicate!
