When I first noticed this problem, often the person appeared in "collected addresses," which was fine because it was easy to find and delete the obsolete entry. But now I specifically look in "collected addresses," by name and by email, but still can't find them. I'm wondering if I may have an old "collected addresses" file on my computer that doesn't show up in the Address Book window, yet is visible to the Mail program when I'm composing a message. I don't understand how or where the address books are stored, so I'm stymied following down this lead... _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
