when using the Contact Editor view to edit multiple contacts and changing their
personal details the following happens on the server:

5129 -> 5381

4490 -> 5383/5384
5379 -> 5385/5386/5387
4868 -> 5388/5389/5390/5391
4558 -> 5392/5393/5394/5395/5396
4813 -> 5397/5398/5399/5400/5401 (5396 kept)
4635 -> 5402/5403/5404/5405/5406 (5401 kept)
4731 -> 5407/5408/5409/5410/5411 (5406 kept)
4780 -> 5412/5413/5414/5415/5416 (5411 kept)
5345 -> 5417/5418/5419/5420/5421 (5416 kept)
3131 -> 5422/5423/5424/5425/5426 (5421 kept)
5245 -> 5427/5428/5429/5430/5431/5432
4863 -> 5433/5434/5435/5436/5437/5438 (5432 kept)
4361 -> 5439/5440/5441/5442/5443/5444 (5438 kept)
5336 -> 5445/5446/5447/5448/5449/5450/5451
4042 -> 5452/5453/5454/5455/5456/5457/5458/5459
4763 -> 5460/5461/5462/5463/5464/5465/5466/5467/5468
4530 -> 5469/5470/5471/5472/5473/5474/5475/5476/5477/5478
4806 -> 5479/5480/5481/5482/5483/5484/5485/5486/5487/5488/5489
3162 -> 5490/5491/5492/5493/5494/5495/5496/5497/5498/5499/5500 (5489 kept)
4235 -> 5501/5502/5503/5504/5505/5506/5507/5508/5509/5510/5511/5512
5501 -> 5513/5514/5515/5516/5517/5518/5519/5520/5521/5522/5523 (5512 kept)
4728 -> 5524/5525/5526/5527/5528/5529/5530/5531/5532/5533/5534/5535

The Contact with the Mail Number on the left side was edited, this of course
caused the contact to be deleted and then it "should" be recreated.
But for example at: 4490 -> 5383/5384 Another contact was deleted and newly
written. Those were the contacts that are on the right side of the line above. 
Only the Contacts marked with ("kept") were not deleted. In this case 5382.

On 4813 -> 5397/5398/5399/5400/5401 (5396 kept)
the mails 4813/5392/5393/5394/5395 were deleted and
5397/5398/5399/5400/5401 newly written.

_All_ Contacts on the left side were lost!

_All_ Contacts in the Mails 5524 - 5535 are now duplicated!
