|Feature overview=From a surface perspective, Thunderbird's address book has not changed much since it's very beginnings. Even today, by default, it is impossible to create a contact with more than 2 e-mail addresses in Thunderbird. It has also failed to adapt to the social web as it exists today, where the identity of contacts can be spread across multiple services (Facebook, Google Contacts, LinkedIn, Twitter, LDAP, desktop address books, etc). It also has no notion that contacts may belong to one or more groups.
Thus, we believe an address book refresh is in order.
# Add an arbitrary number of labelled fields per contact - a far greater flexibility than the current address book offers.
# Use Thunderbird as a contact management front-end for contact providers, such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, LDAP and any desktop contact providers (such as the OSX address book).
# Quickly and easily manage / merge duplicate contacts, which would likely be a consequence of (2)
# Allow users to recover from contact editing mistakes by allowing undo and redo capabilities
