Hi :)
Ok, so the helpful guide isn't yours but you are still active over
there.  So you still deserve the kudos.
Regards from
Tom :)

 Interesting question/need.

 The only idea I have is to have a common master address database which
 in turn is then used by the different (mail) applications.

 It might also be possible to combine the different back ends into one
 front end. But not without major programming efforts, as far as I can
 judge. Curious what other people think.

 However, in a first effort, I'd try to get rid of the Collected
 Addresses data in Thunderbird by merging them into my Personal
 Addressbook and accordingly changing the destination under Preferences 
 Composition  Addressing - Automatically add ...
 But it's only a workaround.

Problem is, that collected address book contains everyone you've sent an
email to.  Do you really want all them in your main address book?  Just
add the people you want to your main book and occasionally clear out the
collected addresses.

Yes, please ask on the Thunderbird forums

Dealing with just one project is tough enough, especially when it's a
high traffic list such as this one.
