Re: [SOGo] Lists create duplicate Contacts
Thanks for your Mail, but...

I am aware of the feature your referring to, but that's not what I am talking about. Whenever I _create_a_contact_ list_ (not writing a mail), contacts are always created in the same addressbook the list itself is created in, completely independent of what is configured in "Add the addresses of outgoing messages in...". Even more annoying is the fact that sometimes those contacts are created twice, or a second one pops up if one already existed beforehand... That's one of the bugs in Thunderbird. That's not what I hoped to hear, but ...well... thanks anyway. :) Please don't mention "sogo-tool remove-doubles". I can't do this for every user and it might very well delete the one instance of a contact containing address, telephone, etc. in the most current version leaving an incomplete or out-of-date version behind. This is not an acceptable solution. Not really. "remove-doubles" has an "intelligent" logic in it where the most complete contact card is preferred over the other ones. That's because, generally the cards that are doubled by Thunderbird only have a full name and an email address. But it's still true that it should normally not be used often and when it is, be used carefully. I tried and had to experience that it's not really _that_intelligent. It sometimes _left_ the ones containing only name and email and _deleted_ the complete ones.

[SOGo] Lists create duplicate Contacts
Hello SOGo users, whenever I create a contact list in my addressbook (using autocompletion via a global LDAP backed addressbook) all the contacts I add to this list are also added to the addressbook. This is somewhat unconvenient, because all those contacts already exist in the global LDAP (or maybe some other personal addressbook), so there's no need to have them duplicated in another book. Even more annoying is the fact that sometimes those contacts are created twice, or a second one pops up if one already existed beforehand... I would really prefer that adding an address to a list wouldn't create any individual contact at all, or at least to make it optional. Is there any way to accomplish this or would that qualify as a bug/feature request? Please don't mention "sogo-tool remove-doubles". I can't do this for every user and it might very well delete the one instance of a contact containing address, telephone, etc. in the most current version leaving an incomplete or out-of-date version behind. This is not an acceptable solution.
