Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 35837

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Address Book & Contacts, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507

When I drag & drop entries between address books then the entries are copied to
their destination ab, but they are not removed from their source ab. They should
be removed from their source ab because of 
1) the general accepted convention that d&d operations move elements between the
source and destination collection and
2) copies of ab entries in multiple folders are unlikely to benefit the user.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Drag & drop entry(ies) between address books.

Actual Results:  
Entry(ies) were copied.

Expected Results:  
Entry(ies) should be moved.

Move should be default for this operation.

Bug #35387 and #207012 seem to concern distinct issues. Can you explain the overlap?
