Version: 2.10

Evolution mailer should not generate "auto contacts" for Contacts that already have their emails in an address book, even if the existing contacts are not in the default address book.


Distribution: Fedora release 7 (Moonshine)
Gnome Release: 2.18.3 2007-07-02 (Red Hat, Inc)
BugBuddy Version: 2.18.0
Comment 1 Tracey Clark 2009-10-15 20:40:11 UTC 
Agreed. This creates a lot of unnecessary duplication & cleanup work, especially when syncing with any IM client.

Distribution: Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04)
Gnome Release: 2.26.0
