GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 207865
Flag known email addresses / indicate if sender is (not) in contacts / address book
Last modified: 2021-05-19 11:30:57 UTC
Package: Evolution Priority: Wishlist Version: 0.12.99 Synopsis: Flag know email addresses Bugzilla-Product: Evolution Bugzilla-Component: Mailer Description: I would like the mailer to visually indicate known and unknown email addresses. For instance, suppose I receive an email from "Bob" and it is addressed to me and "Jim". If my address book has an entry for Jim, but not Bob, I would like a visual cue that "Bob" is missing from my address book. The visual cue could be the color of the link. This feature probably ought to be configurable. Thanks, Paul Rensing Unknown reporter: prensing@cimetrics.com, changed to bugbuddy-import@ximian.com.
oh the pain of making more corba calls and thus slowing down the rendering of mail display even more. ugh. :\
I currently do something like this by using a filter to pipe incomming mail (after removing any spamassassin marked as SPAM) to an external program, using the return to indicate if the email of the sender is in my address book (well, I haven't actually taken the time to figure out how to do this against my live address book, I just export my book once in a while). If I know the sender the filter changes the color of the email. This was incredibly helpful before I started running spam assassin and evolution added it's own junk filters.

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 which have not seen updates for a longer time (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.
