How to save email addresses to second Address Book

I POP 3 different email addresses in Thunderbird (102.6.1) and have separate, unique address books for each in addition to the default "All address Books" and "Personal Address Book". When trying to save an individual email address from within a message I find only how to click it and add it to the "All Address Books" -main/default folder. While that's all well and good but I then have to go to the address books and move a copy of the address from there to the mailbox unique to an email account. My setting any of the unique address books to "default" does not change this "save" behavior - address still goes to "all address books" only. Is there ANY way to either simultaneously - or in some "select" sequence - to save to BOTH the "All Address Books" and another mailbox? In other words can you save to two mail boxes at once? Any help appreciated.

"All Address Books" isn't an address book per-se. It's more a kind of filter to show contacts in literally all existing address books. I don't think you can save a contact in "All Address Books". Save a new contact in the desired address book in the first place.
