What is "Address book Write action". Please describe how you set that up and what you expect Thunderbird to do.

What is "Address book Write action"

The "Write" button in "Address Book" window:
thunderbird-address-book-multiselection

Please describe how you set that up and what you expect Thunderbird to do.

Despite the multi-addresses selection in Address Book, in the opened composer window I get address(es) set in "Tab-specific Properties" panel...

Maybe I misunderstand - but I thought the Write button is supposed to set the "To" address. It still makes sense to use a specific From address when we are in a folder that is configured for it - I would think you may want to open ADdress book from a folder to send an email to a person using the identity (from) for that folder? Note that the corresponding "To:" settings does not overwrite the receiver when you write a new Email.

Here is what I think you are doing - correct me if I am wrong

  1. you are in a folder that is set up to use a different from address (meaning, if you write an email from here it will select a different identity)

  2. You click "Go to the address book" in order to select a recipient

  3. you end up in Composer writing a new email to the recipient.

Note: The workflow of setting a different "from" identity works best in conjunction with "Copy Sent to Current" which will move your mail straight to the folder - no need to step through the Sent Mail folder in order to manage conversations.
