I want the to automatically add all address' to Collected Address') Not Personal Address'! I want to add to Personal Manuely.

Chosen solution

The option reference above is only for outbound addresses. I do not think there is an option to change from the personal book if clicking the star. If you click a filled star the edit dialog for that contact opens with a way to select a different book. So you would have to click the star once to add it and a second time to change books.

In Thunderbird, open Edit > Preferences > Composition and on the lower half of that screen you should see `Automatically add outgoing email addresses to:` in that drop down select Collected Addresses
