Re: Address Autocomplete
Hello Thomas, Thanks for jumping in, as intended. You quoted me and wrote: MS It looks like it's the last used address on top. Do you all think MS this is a logical way to sort a list where you search an address to MS delete or one that you can't remember because you used it a long time MS ago, maybe? PMFJI. I think this is the logical way. The most recent address is actually most likely the one that I use most often, and therefore most likely the correct address. MS I'd prefer to have it sorted alphabetically. Please no! I would ensure that it always shows a non-desired address first. I think I would disable autocomplete from history then (and grieve for it). I think this is a misunderstanding, because in the email before that I wrote: MS I can, however, delete the entry this way when I use the above MS mentioned button on the right side of the address field to open the MS list, go down with the cursor key and hit enter. MS MS BTW: This list shows all entries in a non alphabetic order, so it can be MS hard to find the entry to delete. What order is used there? So I thought it was obvious that I did *not* mean the list that pops up as soon as you start typing (let's call it the autocomplete list). There, I agree, the last used item should be on top. Instead I meant the list of manually entered addresses (let's call it the manual address list, that's the one that opens when you click the down-arrow-button on the right of an address field). I think an alphabetic list would make more sense there, since this is just a list of all addresses I ever typed in manually, so it would be more easy to find an item. Or am I getting something wrong here? MS Hm, but I guess that's something that depends on taste and the way MS you use that list. I use it only to delete erratic or unused MS entries. And I use the autocomplete function to autocomplete email addresses - there you see how people use it differently. ;-) That's right again. I too use the autocomplete list to autocomplete, and the manual address list for managing manually entered addresses ;-) -- Martin TB! 4.0.14.7 on Windows XP 5.1 Service Pack 2 Current beta is 4.0.14.7 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: Address Autocomplete
Hello MAU, You are darn right! I was pretty sure that worked or at least it did in the past. But I am now not sure because, since a long time ago, I only auto-complete from AB and not History. That's what I think, too. Maybe that never worked, I can't remember either. But as it works somehow to delete items this is ok for me. Too lazy to file a bug report here...again :-} maybe Art will do? :-) -- Martin TB! 4.0.14.7 on Windows XP 5.1 Service Pack 2 Current beta is 4.0.14.7 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Re: Address Autocomplete
Hello Art, I'm not sure when it stopped working in the 4.0 process, but you were able to delete addresses that appear in the Autocomplete drop down box in the To, CC, BCC fields in a message. Previously, all you had to do was scroll down with the down arrow, and hit delete on the one you wanted to delete. Cannot confirm. It is still working as expected here. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

I am not sure what you mean by down arrow: the cursor down-key on your keyboard or the TB!-button on the right side of the address-field with the arrows pointing downwards? Here I can NOT delete an entry when I start typing the first letters, the list pops up and I use the cursor to go down the list, and hit delete. I can, however, delete the entry this way when I use the above mentioned button on the right side of the address field to open the list, go down with the cursor key and hit enter.

Re: Address Autocomplete

Hello MAU, What order is used there? I'd say it's last used on top. ;-) I'd say obviously my English is not good enough to express sarcasm...that sort order you mention was my first guess, too. But I don't think its a good solution. I should better have said: It looks like it's the last used address on top.

Here I can NOT delete an entry when I start typing the first letters, the list pops up and I use the cursor to go down the list, and hit delete. I think you may be experiencing similar behaviour that I am.. I can, however, delete the entry this way when I use the above mentioned button on the right side of the address field to open the list, go down with the cursor key and hit enter. It seems a bit erratic to me the way that it works. Sometimes it will delete the entry, and other times it won't. Just seems a bit unintuitive. The only sure way I've found for it to work is if you use the mouse, and select the entry you want to delete, then hold the left mouse button down and hit the delete key at the same time.
