(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kmail
Version:           1.2.3 (using KDE 2.2.0 beta1)
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    Linux-Mandrake 8.0 (Traktopel) - Unsupported
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Linux-Mandrake 8.0 2.96-0.48mdk)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.3-20mdk
OS/Compiler notes: 

Hi

I have seen that mozilla is capable of collecting automatically the email adresses of the messages that are stored in the inbox.Outlook Express does something similar when you reply to an email it automatically stores his email address.

Is it possible to implement one or both of the features in kmail?.It would improve its usability a lot one of the things that I miss most in kmail is the too poor interaction bettween kmail and kaddressbook.

Where exactly does it put the email addresses? Into a separate thing or 
directly into the addressbook?

Outlook Express puts the email addresses it collects directly into your 
personal addressbook. Mozilla adds them to a separate adressbook which is 
called "collected adresses". Then you can add the useful adresses to your 
personal addressbook by drag&drop. I think that the method of Mozilla is 
better because not all the adresses that are collected are worth keeping 
them and this method allows you to keep your personal adressbook organized.
I think that most people don't like a mail client "touching" their personal 
addressbook without their explicit permission having a secondary addressbook 
that holds the automatically collected addresses would solve the problem.
