Description Tamás Németh 2012-06-08 14:03:26 UTC

I'd like if kmail saved the fullname of each recipient not only her/his email. Anyway I can add the full name manually by editing the list of recent addresses but it's inconvenient.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send a mail to someone with fullname/email, eg: "John Doe <johndoe@example.com>"
2. Start composing another mail, and start typing the recipient starting with: jo
Actual Results:  
Only the email address (johndoe@example.com) is autocompleted.

Expected Results:  
The full original recipient address (ie: Name and email) should be included in autocompletion. It would be even better if the behaviour were configurable.

Problem exists with kmail2 4.10.5, openSUSE 12.3 rpms.
Problem did not exist with kmail 1.x.

bug#283991 is a duplicate of this

Comment 3 Denis Kurz 2016-09-24 18:20:43 UTC

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kmail2 (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.12 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

Save recent address with full name

We support doing this in PimCommon::RecentAddresses and this is a bit
nicer to remember the contact name as the email address might not
contains the name of the recipient.
