Details

In the Advanced Options, the facility to collect addresses from outgoing emails
is very nice.  However, this "bucket" quickly becomes virtually identical to my
personal address book with the addition of a good chunk of the corporate LDAP
directory.  Supposedly, if a person is a friend or coworker, I'm going to know
how to find his address in one of the other locations.

I would like an option to prevent known addresses from being collected. 
Collected Addresses would then be a set of infrequently-used addresses, more
amenable to being easily scanned when I'm looking for that odd acquaintance I
wrote to once a year ago.
This is a good request! An extension would be to even remove items from the
collected addresses list as soon as they appear as entries in an address book.
But for now it would be great to filter out the garbage in the collected
addresses...

Marking as a duplicate of the now core address book Bug 58769 - they are both 
asking for the same thing.
