Why do you want both Personaladdress book and Collected ones?  I would 
say that Thunderbird wanted them to be different so you, the user, can 
choose which address you "collected" by returning theemail that would go 
in your personally used address book. MOST of the collected addresses in 
its list are one-time-only emails. If they are not, then it is up to me 
to move them over.  I see no reason why someone would want an outside 
package to access the collected emails address for people you may never 
deal with again and combine it with your personal emails you chose to 
keep separate from the collected ones.
