1782026 - missing option for which address book to add to by default when adding contact from incoming messages

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1735630

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, enhancement)

Description

[sisifosplight]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:103.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/103.0

Steps to reproduce:

When I want to add a new e-mail address from an incoming message to my preferred Address Book (not the Personal Address Book but one that I created myself and which synchronizes with my Outlook mail account) by right-clicking on that address in the From field and clicking on "Add to Address Book", it's always automatically added to the Personal Address Book (that I do not use).

Actual results:

(see above)

Expected results:

There is no choice for the destination Address Book, nor a general option to tell Thunderbird which Address Book is the default one.

I filed this bug more than 3 months ago and nothing has been done yet to solve the bug. I start to wonder what the purpose is of giving feedback....

Unfortunately, this is one fish in a large ocean. Therefore it's not predictable when this might be looked at or addressed.

Sorry guys and girls of Bugzilla, but I can't take you serious anymore after waiting nearly 2 years to look into this issue/request. I am going to switch to another e-mail program.

It is hardcoded here https://github.com/mozilla/releases-comm-central/blob/6a78f38478756920c9518dc109b1209a895adfe6/mail/base/content/widgets/header-fields.js#L580

I've tried to do some workaround. Changed type of ldap_2.servers.pab.dirType to 102 and other settings for carddav.

It is generally work via Address Book interface, but there is a error when try to add a sender from an incoming message.

Uncaught NS_ERROR_FAILURE: No directory for uri=jsaddrbook://abook.sqlite
    getDirectory resource:///modules/AddrBookManager.jsm:282
    addToAddressBook chrome://messenger/content/header-fields.js:578
    addContact chrome://messenger/content/msgHdrView.js:2962
    oncommand about:message:1

Looks like the scheme must be jscarddav but it is hardcoded.

It would be great to make default address book configurable.
