This is a request to restore the previous functionality that, when one right-clicked on an email address in the message view pane, and selected "Add to Address Book", produced a new address card with the email address inserted and an opportunity to edit and select the address book into which to save it. Now it just silently saves to the address book selected in Preferences | Composition, and if wants to edit and save to another address book, one has to open address book, find the address one has just added, edit and save it, then move it to another address book. Not a desirable loss of functionality. Please bring back the way it worked before.

Also, there should be a way to copy an address from one address book to another and not just move it.


Reproducible: Always
This bug affects Windows platforms as well.

I can confirm it with TB3.0 (official release).

Seems to be a regression because it was possible in Thunderbird 2.
Hi everybody,

For me that exactly the same as Caméléon, but without Lightning.

And yes it a real regression when you use TB 3 as a professional tool (I get many address book)

This appears to be a duplicate of bug 456167 (as I think standard8 noticed a while ago); take a look at that bug for more details.
