What do you find unsatisfactory about putting the same user

Because then you have to fill in all the other info for all the
addresses rather than doing it just once. (Why? Because you don't want
to have to labour through a dozen addies to find just the one that has
all the relevant info...)
I do agree that it would be an improvement to be able to add more than
two emails per contact.
I just did a quick test of SM's ability to handle two address book
entries with the same name. I created two separate entries in the same
address book:
First: Paul
Last: Test
Display: Paul Test
Nickname: test1
Email: [email protected]
and
First: Paul
Last: Test
Display: Paul Test
Nickname: test2
Email: [email protected]
SM didn't notice I had two entries with the same name and didn't complain.
Then I tried addressing a new message. If I entered "Paul Test" in the
To: field, SM offered both options, and I could select one. But if I
entered "test1" or "test2," those nicknames were unique and SM just
accepted them without problem.
I agree that it would be cumbersome to sync the two entries if there
were much more data. But as far as I can tell, the names themselves need
not be distinct for the program's purposes.
FWIW
The 'second' entry need only have a first name<dot>
and the #2 email address (not all the other data).
On the other hand I can see that if you export the list
and use that as a data base this work-around might be inconvenient .
