Hi,

If I have a shared contact folder with read/write rights and I like to copy a contact from the shared folder to my own contact folder the operation is allways move and not copy. Is there a way to copy a contact ? I think the operation should be always copy. move does normal make no sense with shared folders...

It works perfect if the shared folder has only read rights....

cheers Manuel

I was sure I had seen a post previously on this topic, but haven't been able to locate one. After several attempts, a [Shift] [Alt] drag from one entry to another Address Book will copy the address book entry.

Press only SHIFT when moving a contact.
