Ahh ... this raises a related question:
What do those preference options actually do?
"Remember recipients for XX days"
"Remember the senders of received messages"
What I would like to have happen (read: Feature Request!)
While I have a couple of thousand addresses in my address book (not
because I collect spam addresses -- my group filtering allows me to
remove those fairly easily), but my regular correspondence is only with a
hundred or so. In the address auto-lookup process, would it be possible
to have the lookup listing start with listing addresses to which recent
(say 90 to 180 days) messages have been sent or received.
So, for example, if I have 10 people named John in the address book, but
I regularly write to John Smith, that he would be the first name listed,
rather than John Able, John Bench, John Chow, etc. It would also be nice
to have these names highlighted in Yellow or something to show that they
are frequent correspondents.
Eager to hear if this can be added to the Wish List.
Thanks.
