Thats a good idea, but in practise wont work, for example emails arrive from our carrier in the uk as [email protected], no name etc, but is also a reply address... > > >> The easiest approach imho, is that every time there is an address >> there is a button that says >> <Add to addressbook> or <Remove from addressbook> - simple as that. > > > The questionable thing is "every time there is an address" - would you > really want a such buttons next to every entry in the completer popup? > And if not, you'll have a hard time removing an address w/o having a mail > from that contact. > Not necessarily a button, maybe a label.. I got an idea of what it should look like and will attempt to create it here .. (not a fast c++ coder) I understand that we dont want buttons all over the place, and we could even do it in a more subtle way..eg colored label adn a context menu eg *[email protected] *- Text in green = in address book *[email protected]* - Text in red = blacklist spam etc *[email protected] *- Text in black = not in address book anyway some thoughts... BUT... a good example ... is a client company of mine and they changed domains.. Its been an incredible pain for everyone involved.. Outlook sucks at maintaining its address book.. where each redirected email, was being added.. The other thing I'd add, is the possibility of adding a database backend as the address book.. and is something I am looking at. regards Pete
