In my TB contacts there are two address books. The TB one, that can't be deleted. And one that says Outlook, that can be, but then reappears. Presumably when I sync with my Outlook account through TBsync. I do want them to sync. But by sync I mean having one address list, kept in synch across two devices not just the Contacts list from my phone appearing underneath my TB "Personal" list on my PC. Synch means having one combined address book, surely. Is there a way to do this?

You might be sure there is a way, but I have never heard of one.

Really I fail to see the issue. But then I rarely spend anytime at all in my address book. I just start typing addresses in my mail and expect the suggestions to produce the required items, or I use the "all address books" default on the contact panel in the compose window (F9) to select the folks I want. I also have loads of address books. Mozilla books, Thunderbird books personal ones and other that are just examples with false addresses I use for examples.
