Thunderbird - too many Address Books

de-users
#1

Interesting question/need.

The only idea I have is to have a common master address database which
in turn is then used by the different (mail) applications.

It might also be possible to "combine" the different back ends into one
front end. But not without major programming efforts, as far as I can
judge. Curious what other people think.

However, in a first effort, I'd try to get rid of the "Collected
Addresses" data in Thunderbird by merging them into my Personal
Addressbook and accordingly changing the destination under Preferences >
Composition > Addressing - "Automatically add ..."
But it's only a workaround.

Dear Nino, dear "Custfold",
first of all: you posted this inside the German User-group of LibreOffice - a little bit wrong probably (I don't see any connection to your request)

Nevertheless I tried to understand your issue with my basic english - and thought I understand your question, but didn't recognize a problem!

I`m using Thunderbird 24.3.0 with Win XP SP3 and can easily select (all) adresses in "Collected Adresses" and move them in into "Personal Address Book" by drag and drop. Inside the settings you can choose to use "Personal Address Book" only for the future.

This was the first question. According your second question, I do not understand the meaning of "Evolution Address List" (translation to German make no sense to me), but I think you will find somebody in the Thunderbird-group, who can solve this...

Best regards
Karsten
