Frosted, as I understand it, if you compose an e-mail to someone already
in your Personal Addressbook, when the e-mail is sent, nothing happens
to your addressbook, but, if you compose an e-mail to someone who is not
in your addressbook, that "new" address will be stored in your
"Collected" addressbook. You could then click on the "Addressbook" Icon
at the bottom left of screen, you can then move those collected
addresses into your Personal Addressbook.
Under "Personal Address Book" I have created a number of Mailing Lists
that I want to use to organize my contacts.
That raises a few questions
1) When an entry is dragged to a mailing list under the "Personal
Address Book", where does it get taken from? Wherever it comes from,
that real email address has to remain there in order to remain in the
mailing list.
As I understand this, when you move an address to a Mail list, it is
just copied, not moved, and is you then delete the original, I think you
also lose the copy!
2) Can that email address be used in multiple mailing lists?
Yes.
3) In either "Collected Addresses" or "Personal Address Book", there are
many duplicated entries. What is the simplest way to remove duplicates
before filling the contacts into the mailing lists?
I don't know why you might have copies in both addressbook.
4) Which of the two "Collected Addresses" or "Personal Address Book")
should be the source for the mailing lists under "Personal Address Book"?
Your Personal Addressbook.
5) If it is the "Personal Address Book", can I safely empty all the
email address in "Collected Addresses" after moving the ones of interest
into the "Personal Address Book"?
I think, Yes, but don't quote me :-P
Questions above are in no particular order or priority.
My thought is to move all appropriate email address from "Collected
Addresses" to "Personal Address Book". Then eliminate all duplicates
from that list. Finally, populate the individual mailing lists from the
"Personal Address Book". Hopefully keeping only one copy of the actual
contact entry in the "Personal Address Book".
Does this even make any sense? :)
Seems like a good, functional, plan of attack to me.
