Description freeman3 2008-10-08 10:23:45 UTC
Version:           1.10.0 (using 4.1.00 (KDE 4.1.0), Mandriva Linux release 2008.1 (Official) for i586)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.24.5-laptop-2mnb

i'am using some adresses often but still they don't show in recent addresses. when i type and address if a to field it's stored but it's deleted in few days. usually i have no more than 3 recent addresses which is very strange.
i need a option to not to delete addresses from recent addresses list or an option to popup new contact when it's not in address book
some settings for recent adresses is needed

Yes, I support this request.
I assume that the list of addresses if getting full too quickly.

A quick fix may be simply to set the default value of saved e-mail addresses higher, let's say to 500. 
recentaddresses.cpp
-00081   m_maxCount = cg.readEntry( "Maximum Recent Addresses", 40 );
+00081   m_maxCount = cg.readEntry( "Maximum Recent Addresses", 500 );

We are all sending dozens of e-mails per day, so 500 may be even too low ;-)

I have parsed the kmail.kcfg file, which has only a boolean to switch on and off adding recent e-mail addresses. Ideally the number is put into the kmail.kcfg . Or make an own resource in KAddressbook (which I'm sure is a more complex task) about those e-mail addresses.

Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented.
Thank you for your understanding.

Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
