Moving contact information between address book folders
Virtually all my address book entries are in "Collected Addresses". I have created "Family" and "Political Reps" folders to try to organize them. Is there any way to move entries from one folder to another besides manually copying the data, then deleting the "source" entry? I was hoping "drag and drop" might work but sorry, no bananas today.

I do not know what kind of Windows you use that drag and drop works with right click. It is always left click.
Glad you figured it out.

Drag and drop is the way it works. Not sure how you are trying or why you cannot accomplish it.
Open the address book window. Make sure the directory pane is displayed. View-Layout-Directory Pane
Click the folder of the book you are moving contacts FROM to make it display in the main window. Select the contact or contacts to move and drag and drop them on the new book folder.
Directory Pane is ON. Toggled both Directory Pane and Contact Pane off and back on, then restarted TBird. For some reason drag-n-drop just isn't working for individual or multiple entries.
Checked TBird version, supposedly current 24.4.0.
Am downloading and updating Java. Will get back if that works.
Thanks
D-O-H !!!! Was trying to drag-n-drop with a RIGHT click of the mouse (as in Windows). LEFT click works.

I right-click in WinXP to move files/folders/etc, and it asks if I want to copy, move, or cancel. Have gotten into the habit of doing it that way so I don't move when I want to copy.
