* Thunderbird only allows a fixed number of e-mail addresses (2), phone numbers (5) and instant messaging accounts (0) per contact. This is a major inflexibility that is the source of many complaints and frustrations with the address book. We should allow users to add an arbitrary number of these fields to their contacts.
<b>3) Migrate the address book storage backend from Mork to something a little more sane - with asynchronous operations being the overriding goal. ([https://TODO:FEATUREPAGE wiki.mozilla.org/Features/Thunderbird/Replace_Mork_for_Address_Book feature page]):</b>
* While Mork may be fast, it can also can be a nightmare to work with. It's time to move on.
* Interactions with the new database should be asynchronous
* In the schema design for the new database, each field should be typed so that Thunderbird can make intelligent decisions on what actions (if any) to take if a user selects that field. For example, Thunderbird should understand that when a user clicks on an e-mail address, we should open up a compose window. If we click on a Twitter username, the users Twitter client opens up. If we click on a Skype username, a Skype client should open, etc. This should be an extendible mechanism.
<b>4) Move from Mailing Lists / Address Books to more generic "groups" of contacts. ([https://TODO:FEATUREPAGE feature page]):</b>
