Althought the contact is no more (correctly) displayed in the list, this behaviour is a problem because these files (.mab) constantly grow in size. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the address book 2. Chose one contact from the book 3. Delete the entry Actual Results: Correctly the deleted entry is no more listed among the available ones, however its data is still present in the corresponding .mab file. Expected Results: The software should remove the entry data from the .mab file after deleting an entry from the address book. Another solution to the problem would be the adding of a menu entry/button for compacting the addresses, i.e. "Compact Address Book", like the one available for the Mail folders.
