There is not Preference setting to select which Address book collected addresses
should be written to. All of these addresses at present are being written to the
Personal Address Book. Mozilla gives the option of where these address should be
placed, or if at all. This functionality would be usefull.

After viewing the Personal Address Book it evedent that the recipients address
had been writtenm to this address book, not the Collected Addresses.

Expected Results:  
I would have expected Thunderbird to write the address to the Collected Addresss.

addresses is now obsolete.

you can change this on your own: tools / Options / Advanced / Email collection.

In thunderbird there is no "Email Collection". If the Collected Addresses
address book is obsolete, why is it still default address book.
Where are the collected addresses supposed to be written to if not Collected
Addresses. It does not make any sense to have them being written to the Personal
Address Book as they are now.
