I have over a dozen email accounts in my Thunderbird client. All accounts use a common Collected Addresses address book. Is is possible to have the collected addresses for a particular account automatically go into a separate address book? I have a need to manage these addresses separately from the other accounts.

Thanks, Michael

I think the only convenient way is to create multiple profiles with each one having a set of accounts with the same address books, including Collected Addresses. Some users would also like to be able to have each account use a specific set of address books for address autocomplete in new messages, but that was only possible with a now outdated add-on.
