[...] 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. I think `gmail.com` (and many other email providers) is a good example of why this would not always work well. Some times when automation fails then it's easy to think that if it just used a different strategy then all would be well, but often it just means that other usage patterns start to fail. Is there anything that can be configured to work around this? I don't think so. In the cases where MailMate knows “which account you are currently in” then I guess there could be a setting which limits completions to the emails of the current account. I'll give that some thought, but don't expect it any time soon. -- Benny ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

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 I have a similar situation but I do not seem to have the same problem. I sent emails to my wife to her different addresses. She has like five of them and I have like a dozen of my accounts in MM. When I type the first two letter of her first name, I get a popup with various versions of all her email addresses and can pick the one that is suitable for a given email. Usually, it also auto-picks the correct sender address, that is the last address used for the recipient address. I mean it always auto-picks one of my addresses. I say usually because once a while MM seems to get confused and forgets the correct associations. Robert___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
