[Collected Addresses address book re-acquires addresses that were

Any idea of how to get around this problem?

I have the same question.  Also, How can I remove duplicate addresses?


In the original  bug 
thread you can read how the feature to not re-acquire addresses in other 
ABs was implemented and why it might not be working.


One issue that I noticed is that it was possible to have an address book 
entry whose Email field had leading spaces. I don't think that should 
have been possible. That was the only apparent duplicate in my CAB. If 
there were duplicates, sorting the CAB by Email should reveal them for 
deletion.

I happen to be running Seamonkey 2.53.2, but I'm realizing that I've 
been seeing this for some time -- certainly in various releases of 2.49, 
and possibly further back than that.


I make periodic visits to my Collected Addresses address book, and 
generally move the addresses I want to keep permanently into other 
address books, and discard most of the rest.


Usually, I don't pay attention to handling until much later when I 
repeat the exercise (sometimes months apart), but more than once, I've 
noticed addresses in Collected Addresses with a deja vu feeling of "I 
thought I had moved or deleted that address a long time ago".


What's happening is that once I move or delete addresses, and Seamonkey 
restarts, a re-visit to Collected Addresses shows those addresses still 
there, although for moved addresses, they are being correctly copied to 
other folders.


As far as I can tell, I'm only seeing this on the Collected Addresses 
folder, although I don't frequently delete addresses from other folders.


If I was seeing this kind of effect on a mail folder, I would normally 
re-index the folder, but I'm not aware of a similar capacity for doing 
that with an address book.
