Hi,

I use a whole bunch of address books to manage my contacts, e.g. personal, work, club members, etc., but this means that people I trust and who I want to include in my 'whitelist' are spread over several address books. I bet a lot of people have multiple address books, as you can see, for example, in bug263718.

Now I would very much like to be able to select any number of address books to include into my whitelist. Whether this be a separate dialog with checkboxes for each address book or a multiple-choice selection box is up to the UI-designer.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tools -> Junk Mail Controls ... -> Do not mark messages as junk if the sender is in:
2. User selects one address book

Actual Results:  
Drop-Down-List is used with single choice.

Expected Results:  
Drop-Down-List with multiple choice.

Of course, this change request not merely concerns changing the UI, but have Junk Control remember and use multiple address books for whitelist verification.
