If it's a small set then I would recommend just using Contacts to keep track of these email addresses.


How exactly do you mean this, Benny?

To recap: Wouldn't be nice to open a new email and have a pop-up with the previous used email-adresses *regardless if the email-messages are still in MailMate or not*?

I actually think the opposite is nice, but I also consider IMAP to be the primary storage of email. I would never remove sent messages.

Did I understand you corectly: You say that you would archive everything but the sent messages? Only to get all the previous sender?!


How could Contacts be of any help for this?

Email addresses in Contacts are also shown in the email address popup. These are shown even if no sent messages exist to the same addresses.

That's correct!


If MailMate automatically added all recipients of your sent emails to Contacts then it would behave like “previous recipients”, but I doubt anyone would want that.

Me neither!
But even Mail.app ;-) shows there's a more elegant way to do this by keeping an internal, editable list of all the sent emails (= a subset of the Contacts ;-)

I try to summarize:

1. Right now the previous sender come only from the sent messages --> no sent messages means no previous sender! & there's no way to edit the previous sender.

2. A separate list of the previous sender (= sender of the previous sent messages, even if they are not in the sent-messages-mailbox anymore) would imply a change but will allow both caveats from point 1: the previous sender stays even if the sent messages are archive AND one could edit this list!

I'm trying to wet you appetite for point 2 obviously ;-)… but I really think that is a better idea?
