Hello TBBETA,

I have been playing with the new addressbook following some struggles with it 
last week when I was trying to do a mass mailing using a template (for which I 
ended up having to revert to the old addressbook).

The new addressbook does not have a menu from which things like Mass Mailings 
can be selected. From playing around, I found that the Actions button that 
appears if you select one or more contacts enables you to select Mass Mailing. 
However:

- There does not appear to be a way to select all contacts in a particular 
addressbook. If you select an addressbook or sub-addressbook in the left hand 
list, the contacts appear on the right, but there is not a Select All option - 
each one has to be selected individually or you have to click on the first 
scroll to the end of the list and shift-click to select all.

- The search box at the top of the list searches all addressbooks, not the one 
selected.

- If you select a contact from addressbook, the contact details appear on the 
right and that addressbook's contacts appear on the left, but you cannot then 
go back. If you want to go back to the list of all addressbooks on the left and 
individual addressbook contacts on the right, you need to click the hamburger 
menu on the left and then select the individual addressbook again. A back 
button to take you back to the list again would be much easier.

Overall, I think I will stick to the old addressbook for the time being. I can 
see the new one has potential, but it is not as functional as the old one at 
the moment.

Finally, I did notice that the menu on the old addressbook was detached from 
the actual addressbook in my two-monitor setup. The addressbook window appears 
in the middle of screen 2, but the menu (File|Edit|View) is stuck in the top 
left corner of screen 2 and does not move if I drag the window to screen 1.
