Description Maciej Pilichowski 2010-05-19 08:36:19 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.2)

It is required to send a mail to enter receiver name or just an e-mail?

The second, right? So why does Kaddressbook check also the name? I know it maybe looks better but:
a) from technical POV it is not required
b) user does not have to know the name
c) entering the name in many occasions is just waste of time (receiver is a company, and name is exactly like the email, office@google.com)

So, the limitation is strictly artificial and it more hurts than helps.

i don't know if this is the same thing i want to mention, but adding new contact to a group only searches from the begining of the name. if you remember only a part of the mail or the last name of a contact, you won't find them at the group editor dialog.
The searching of this dialog should be just filtering like in the normal list view of all contacts.
Please tell me if this will be fixed with this commit too?!
