Usually people have to deal with the same persons frequently. Now, if you look for a name like "John Miller" by entering the name in the (To, Cc, Bcc) address fields and are searching a corporate LDAP server, the resulting list is very, very long, if you enter John. In addition to that, there might be more than just on John Miller.

It would be great, if Kmail could remember the selected address and next time I enter "Joh" in the address field, the list will be like

"John Miller"
-------------
"John Aston"
"John Altaire"
....
"John Zeta"

(Note, all names are fictive)

This would be even better, if Kmail could remember how often, I've selected John Miller. So if I send more emails to "John Miller" than to "John Altaire", the list will look like:


"John Miller"
"John Altaire"
-------------
"John Aston"
....
"John Zeta"

So, the names above the separator line are the ones, I already sent email to and these names are ordered by relevance. All other found names are listed below the separator line and are ordered alphabetically.

I have the impression that Mozilla Mail and Outlook are already doing this, and it's very helpful, when working with large LDAP directories.
