Hi,
I have two accounts setup in MailMate (call them "A" and "B") and I
email a contact with the same name from the different accounts (call
them "C1" and "C2").
I email C1 only from A, and C2 only from B, however, they both have the
same display name (e.g., "Andrew Jones").
The problem here is that, because they both have the same name, if I
type in "Andrew Jones" and just auto-select, then MailMate selects the
most recently emailed contact, irrespective as to which account I am
currently in.
For example, I write an email to C2 from B, and then change to the inbox
for A, hit cmd+n (so it is composing from A) and start to type "Andrew
Jones" — MailMate will now suggest C2, even though 99% of emails to
"Andrew Jones" go to C1 rather than C2 (the 1% only exist because of
MailMate making this bad choice in the past, and me missing it!).
Even more “problematically” is that C1 and A are on the same domain
(e.g., “and...@mailmate.com” from “m...@mailmate.com”), while C2
and B are also on the same domain (e.g., “and...@gmail.com” and
“m...@gmail.com”). The selection by MailMate to email C1 from B (or C2
from A) is therefore even more odd, because it is choosing to send
emails “outside the organisation”. It would be nice if there was
some preference towards favouring recipients on the same domain.
After I have corrected the mistake (i.e., explicitly choosing C1 when
composing in A) then MailMate now remembers I want to email C1, so the
autocompletion is in the correct order.
Is there anything that can be configured to work around this? It is
embarrassing how many times I sent the wrong stuff to C1/C2 because of
my "trust" in autocomplete!
Cheers,
Andrew
