When I want to save an email address in my imported Outlook Book I have to save to Thunderbirds default Personnel Book first, then "edit" and move to Outlook. I'd like them to automatically default to the Outlook box.

There doesn't seem to be any choice in saving an address in a particular address book. It always goes to the Personal Address Book.

When you send an email, the addressee is stored in the Collected Addresses.

Simply confirmed what I suspected. Seems like there ought to be a way to make an address book a default, but I too had not discovered a way to date. I've shut off the sending/saved email option as that is of little use to me.
