TB 115.8.0.1, Mac OS Sonoma 14.5 Over the years my Address Book has acquired many separate entries for the same individual, with two or more (obsolete) email addresses, for example. Also, one with email address only, and another with phone number, plus various pieces of contact data in one or both cards. If there is a way to compare, choose correct data, and combine contact files, I can't find it. If not, I'd like to propose an enhancement. Thank you.

No, that capability is far removed from managing email. The ability merge multiple addressbooks, selectively deciding which content elements to save would be a nontrivial exercise.

Thanks David. Just to be sure, you're saying there is no such feature, or anything like it?
