That looks like a mass migration all at once. Seems there is no way to
do selective migration, also how can one be sure it won't clobber
existing entries in the abook database?

Seems like the only safe way is to manually do it.

Of course you have:

macro index,pager A "<pipe-message>abook --add-email<return>" 

for new mail.

Consider using lbdb, set it up, then add:

set query_command = "lbdbq %s"

to your .muttrc
