Eg: You have no addreses in your addressbook (just say) You have like a ton of mails in your inbox folder from 1000 different email addresses. I want to know if it's possible to just create a new message, type an arbitary address and then evo will automatically scan the addresses already in the Inbox folder and prompt for selection?That would be pretty cool, but no way to do so "out-of-the-box" that I'm aware of.
vcf is an open standard, isn't it? If so, grep & shell, or maybe perl or python could scan the mail folders, creating a big .vcf file with all of the addresses in it. Since .evolution/addressbook/local/system/addressbook.db is a bdb file, it can be queried by perl/python so that duplicate addr- esses won't get inserted. Then, the .vcf can be imported into Evo. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B "If the history of the past fifty years teaches us anything, it is that peace does not follow disarmament -- disarmament follows peace."
