I currently have only two address books in Seamonkey: "Collected
Addresses" and "Personal Address Book"

Each of those have many duplicated entries for people.

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.

2) Can that email address be used in multiple mailing lists?

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?

4) Which of the two "Collected Addresses" or "Personal Address Book")
should be the source for the mailing lists under "Personal Address Book"?

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"?

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?  :)

Yes, it makes sense as we have all encountered similar issues at one time or another. "Collected" has those to whom you have sent email, including "reply all". I regularly go through those and remove the "abuse..." and similar items.
