User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040311 Firefox/0.8.0+ Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.5 (20040207) If you have the option to add email addresses to your address book automatically upon receipt, Mozilla Thunderbird will create a new card in the address book, even if that person is in your other Address Book. I wanted to have TB collect addresses for me that I could then put into my permanent Personal Address Book. What I found is that while TB will not create a new card if their address is already in the Collected directory, it does not check other address books to decide if the name is already there. It would be better if TB did not create a new card if that person's information is already in the system. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Allow TB to collect addresses of sent email (Tools->Options->Advanced->Check box) 2.Create card of a particular email address in another Address Book (i.e. if you are saving email addresses in Collected Addresses, create the card in Personal Address Book) 3.Send an email to the person that you have a card for in Personal Address Book Actual Results: Without fail, if the person's card was in Personal Address Book, a new card would be created in Collected Address Book. Thus the person's address in both books. Expected Results: The program should, in my opinion, check to see if the email address is in either address book before saving a new one. When dealing with hundred of addresses cards and wanting to put Collected Addresses into either a Personal Address Book or a Work Address Book (and in my case a couple others) with all other contact information it is good to not have duplicates. That way I can easily find a person. By having it resave addresses that I already have in the Personal Address Book, I have more clutter and people that I am not sure where they are from.
