Thuderbirds address book has a command in the "File" menu of its window
for "New> Address Book". I am not aware of any limit on the number of
books you can create. (These are seperate from "Lists" which the user
can create within an address book) It is so long since I have imported
addresses to Thunderbird (actually, in those days Netscape) that I
wouldn't like to say how importing lists from other programs would turn
out. I would like to think it would preserve seperate books, but no
guarentees from me on that one.
As for M$ so called progress - when the heck have they done anything else?
