I would like to use only one address book. When I star a contact, the address goes to the personal address book, despite the OS address book being specified in the menu. How can I transfer a name from the personal address book to the OS inbox. Can I delete the personal address book? Or transfer the contacts, then eliminate the OS address book? Many thanks. New user.

Personal and Collected address books are the default books and cannot be removed. You can select all the contacts in the MAC book and move them to the personal book. Select one contact in the MAC book. Press control+a to select all. Drag them to the personal book and drop them there. You can click the star a second time when adding a contact to open the edit dialog box and select a different address book from the drop down list.

That was a great help! I am changing to TB from my old email program, Entourage, so am blundering along. I so appreciate knowing your help is there for me. Thank you, Marty
