Description Luke Hutchison 2005-07-30 21:50:58 UTC 
As well as the option "Automatically create entries in the addressbook when
responding to mail", it would be great if there were an option for
"Automatically create entries in the addressbook when sending new mail".

Currently, if you send a message to someone whose email addr is not in your
addressbook, there is no way to have them automatically added to an addressbook,
unless you're actually replying to a message.
Comment 1 parthasarathi susarla 2005-07-31 04:08:47 UTC 
the automatic contacts plugin already does this. Please enable it in
edit->plugins menu (it should be enabled by default). And set your preferences
in edit->preferences->Mail Preferences->Automatic contacts


Closing this bug.
Comment 2 parthasarathi susarla 2005-07-31 04:15:04 UTC 
Ok, this doesnt work when sending a New mail though. Currently works only for
responding.

Re-opening.
Comment 3 Nagappan Alagappan 2005-08-08 12:27:11 UTC 
Based on comment #2 confirming the bug.
Comment 4 Matthew Barnes 2008-03-11 00:26:00 UTC 
Bumping version to a stable release.
Comment 5 Cédric Bellegarde 2017-09-21 14:59:52 UTC 
Can confirm it does not work with 3.26.1
Comment 6 André Klapper 2021-05-19 11:46:03 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. 
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new enhancement request ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
