No, I don’t think that’s quite how it works. If the feature is off, you completely lose, again in my understanding, the option of autocompleting names and addresses based on incoming mail. Only outgoing mail would provide the recent names and addresses, using whatever is in your recent list rather than what was guessed from the header of the incoming mail.
The reason I think you’re having a problem with lists is that many subscribers are now posting to the list with email providers with broken DMARC configurations, which the list services have to work around by munging the email so it appears to come from the list address. Hence you end up with a derived contact that is wrong, and therefore when you try to complete based on the address it populates the wrong information. Throwing away the dud contacts solves the problem, but it now means you’ve got to send mail to a recipient at least once. The details provided by the list server should be correctly populated when you reply. At least I hope that’s how it works. It seems to on Mac; I disabled it there for precisely this reason. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
