- Automatically add address to address book
- Posted by Anthony Deane on March 2nd, 2005
Hi,
Does anybody know of a program that will automatically add the address of
any incoming e-mails to the address book.
I've been told that this is a function in GroupWise (the Novell product),
and my boss is looking for a freeware alternative.
Many thanks,
Anthony

What email client are you using ?
Most have an option built in , to do that .

You mean email addresses? Which email client? Which address book
application?
I'm confused... do you mean adding email addresses automatically to
your boss's local address book on his computer, or to some server-
LDAP-like address book?
I'm afraid you'll have to be a bit more precise...

Yep, you're right. Getting to the point has never been my strongest
attribute!!!
As it is at the moment, my boss is using Eudora (6.?). Although he likes
it, the one feature that he is missing from his previous e-mail client
(GroupWise) is the ability for the address book to store all of the
addresses of incoming e-mails.
I've done some searching, and this function was available in Thunderbird
(they called it the Collected Address Book), however, they have disabled
this function in the later versions.
Is there a plug in available for either Eudora or Thunderbird so that this
function is available again, or is there another e-mail program that can do
this as standard.
I've checked the prices for GroupWise, and frankly I'm not paying $130 for
that one function.

No problem :-)
I was going to say "just use Thunderbird" until I read this.
You're right, TBird now only allows outgoing addresses to be
collected.
I'm sure it's not that hard to write an extension for this, but a
quick search on http://update.mozilla.org/ and
http://extensionsmirror.nl/ did not turn up anything useful.
If I had the time, I'd write you a TBird extension for this...
I'll save your email address, if I ever write something like it
you'll be the first to know.

Wald
