264005 - Allow address collection into different books for each account

Status: REOPENED

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

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040927

The address book into which outgoing addresses are now collected is set in
Edit|Preferences|Addressing, which is global for all accounts. The setting
function should be moved to Account Settings, so that each account can have
addresses saved into a different address book. If I want to later send to all or
most of the collected addresses, I don't want the recipients for different
accounts saved into the same address book. Different accounts have their own
proper recipients that need to be kept separated.

That seems fair, if Mozilla is going to be serious about multiple accounts....

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

This needs to be kept active and fixed. Right now the only workaround seems to
be to open multiple user accounts, each with it's own Mozilla-Thunderbird
directory trees and address book files. That shouldn't be necessary.

Ok, but this is actually a duplicate of the core address book bug 99742, 
therefore I'm marking it as such.
