A important feature, especially wished by many Outlook Express User. :-/ Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a mail 2. right mouseclick on the sender's address 3. click: add to addressbook Actual Results: TB add a new addressbook entry, but doesnt check for duplicates (a simple Name check would be enough). Expected Results: TB should ask you: 'Address is already in the addressbook, really add?" (sorry for my english *g*)

Bug 45956 is raised against the suite. This bug is only a duplicate of that one if all the address book code is common. I'm not up on Thunderbird enough to know if this is the case. If someone knows better, please dupe if appropriate. Meanwhile confirming this bug.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true

This should be back end code, and from what I have read, TB and the Suite share that back end completely (not counting branching). This should be marked as a dup.

If to-be-added address has different info (whatever Tb can check), perhaps ask whether to UPDATE existing entry...?
