Some simple support for merging and sorting addresses would be useful. A means
of finding/deleting an address from all address books would be great. 

I collect address books from multiple instances of Mozilla and keep several for
different porpoises. The significant downside is that old addresses accumulate
(are difficult/time consuming to find and remove from every address book) and
appear in composition address expansion and tend to cause mis-addressing of mesages.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. [e-mail] in one address book
2. [e-mail] in another address book
3. address a message to you (rudy).


Actual Results:  
``You'' is expanded to a pick list containing [e-mail] and [e-mail] and
depending on how much attention you're paying to your typing...

Expected Results:  
A means of deleting found entries in the address search tool would be cool.
Extending address search to search multiple/all address books would be cool too
(both would great).

Deleting found entries is a duplicate of bug 126331, searching multiple address
books is bug 170270.

Marking as duplicate of bug 170270, as that would probably be most useful in
this case.
