Hi, I think some people have a problem because it is hard to get email addresses in both the address Book and in the list you have for emails. I may be missing something here so maybe someone has found a way to do this. You can add an email address to your list so that you can look up any address you put in your email address list later. I personally love the email program and I simply save emails and send them back to myself if I want to keep a copy. I simply list myself under bcc to send it back to myself. This works well for me.
