How do I select the correct email address for a contact who has multiple email addreses, when adding multiple recipients to a message? For example, say that I want to send out an email to all of my friends at once: I can start an email, hit Bcc: and then choose my friends from the list of addr\\\\people in my addressbook - but how do I make sure that I've selected the *right* email address for each of my friends? For many of my friends, I have a note of both their work and home addresses in their address entry, and in this case, I'd want to sure that I am able to select their home address. I can't see how to do this?
If you're asking what I think you're asking, it's easy. For example, I have a co-worker, let's call him John Doe. I want to send him an email. So, I type "Joh". All of the Contacts who's names match "Joh" (that includes everyone named John") display on a drop-down list. I arrow down to chose the email address I want. But, you say, there are 2 addresses for John Doe. Which address am I emailing at the moment? Right-click on the address. It will show you.
On a related note, is there any way to have Evolution show *both* name and email address when it adds them to the recipient list in the message window, just as an extra reminder/check?
Not to my knowledge, but see my previous paragraph. Note that the "email list" pane has both the name and email address. [snip]
This would also allow email addresses to be entered by simply keying the first few letters of somebody's name, and then tabbing through the list of possibilities, before moving onto the next field/recipient.
