After disabling it, I'm able to create a new record in BBDB with M-x bbdb-create, and either C-j or just leaving the fields empty gets me out of the infinite "Street Address" loop described in my previous message. For the moment I can do it manually, though later on I will have to figure out how to disable ivy, call bbdb-create and re-enable ivy. What I don't seem to get is a nice integration with Gnus as I used to have with my previous BBDB version, 2.36. Ideally I would like: 1. when reading a message, see if the sender is in my database (I can do that by pressing ":") 2. Once the BBDB buffer is shown, I would like that when I move to another message, the BBDB buffer is updated automatically: now I have to press ":" again to see the new sender, and if the sender is not in BBDB, it just shows the previous sender, where ideally an empty buffer would be better 3. Pressing ":" again gets rid of the BBDB buffer 4. If the sender is not in the database press some key and offer the option to include it in the database. If anybody is using BBDB + Gnus and can give me some advice on how to get these things done I will appreciate it a lot.
