How do I save email addresses from in box without manual entry?

Any other email program I've used will recognize an email address when you type in a letter or two in the TO box. It seems Thunderbird only looks at the address book that has to be manually input. Doesn't seem to be an option to remember an address from your inbox. I have to be missing something. Manual entry into the contact list can't be the only option...right?

Thunderbird adds outbound addresses to your Collected address book. Would you really want every address that you received an email from clogging up your address book? Junk mail and all?
When you are viewing an email in the message pane or a tab there is a star to the right of the addresses. If the star is filled with color that address is in one of your address books. If the star is empty you can click it to add the contact to the Personal address book. Clicking a filled star will open the contact edit dialog box to add more details or move to another book.
This is NOT the same star to the left of the message headers.

  • TS3899 tell me how to transfer my email addresses from my laptop to my ipad mini

    SOMEBODY TELL ME HOW TO LOAD MY EMAIL ADDRESSES FROM MY LAPTOP ONTO MY IPAD MINI AND KEEP IT SIMPLE...I'M PRETTY NEW AT ALL THIS (AND OLD TOO)

    Hello there Angela,
    I was looking for some resources on syncing your Mail accounts from your computer to your iPad.
    In our article named iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296. This section in particular will get you started:
    USB syncing
    Open iTunes.
    Connect the iOS device (your iPad) to your computer using the included USB cable and select it in iTunes under Devices on the left-hand side. Some tabs may not appear if you do not have corresponding content in your library. For example if you do not have any podcasts in your library, the corresponding Podcast tab will not appear.
    When you see that bar you want to click Info, and there will be a checkbox there to Sync Mail Contacts. Check the box, then click Apply in the lower right corner of the iTunes window.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • How can I export email addresses from apple mail?

    How can I export email addresses from Apple Mail?
    Just to be CRISTAL CLEAR please don't reply with export instructions from the address book.....not interested in this.
    I have customers that fill-out a request form online, then the data is sent to our database on our server, and another copy is sent to my email account. The server database got corrupted and is now lost. The only data left are in my email app called APPLE MAIL. I have created Filtered Folders so the data is just in one Folder, not mixed with all other emails. Is there a way to export the email names & addresses from APPLE  MAIL to a CVS file or Excel file?
    Again this is not a question related to Apple Address Book. This is ONLY for Apple MAIL exporting!
    Thanks

    There is a collection of AppleScripts called Mail Scripts you can download at this link.
    http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
    The script to use from the collection of scripts is Add Addresses (Mail) which adds addresses found in the selected messages (in the header fields "From", "To", "Cc", and "Bcc") to the Address Book. This is much more flexible than the "Add Sender to Address Book" available in Mail and provides a convenient way for creating mailing lists.

  • How to delete unwanted email addresses from Mai

    How can I delete out of date email addresses from Mail, in Yosemite. This no longer seems to be an option.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    There is the window->previous recipients that you can open and delete them from there.
    Other than that, Mail will auto-complete based on addresses you have in the Contacts application. If you have out of date emails for your contacts in Contacts, update them

  • How I can delete email addresses from I-photo 11?

    Hello to every body.
    I sent a photo from I-photo by the command "share.....by email". Now If I want to share another photo, I put in the email window, the first letter of email address, and it show me the preceeding addresses used to share the photo. In these used addresses there is a unwanted one and I want to delete it.
    How I can do that?
    Thank you very much.
    marco

    Greetings Marco,
    Quit iPhoto if it is open
    Remove the following file to the trash:  Your User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto.plist*
    Re-open iPhoto
    This will remove all saved email addresses from iPhoto's memory.  Note: It will also restore the default location of the iPhoto Library if you moved it (hold down the option key and launch to choose the old location if you've moved it).  It will also remove certain preferences such as your email accounts if they are not stored in the Mail program and Facebook / Flickr accounts.
    Hope that helps!

  • Mail - how to delete old email addresses from FROM box?

    I'm using:
    Mail 4.5
    Snow Leopard 10.6.8
    iCloud IMAP for my mac.com/me.com email address
    When I compose new messages, in the FROM box are listed old mac.com email alias addresses that I have deleted. 
    I tried deleting the icloud IMAP account within mail, then recreating that account.  But still, those old alias email addresses still appear.  And one of them has the name of my ex-girlfriend, so I really want that off my screen, haha!
    How can I delete those expired email address from the from box?
    Otherwise, my iCloud IMAP account works fine.
    Thanks for your help!
    Bill

    Thanks, Kurt.
    Yes, those are email aliases (that I created on mobileme) that I no longer I have.  I still have the main mac.com address, but today I deleted the aliases through iCloud.
    And thanks.  But I already tried that.  After deleting the iCloud aliases on the iCloud website, I then deleted the iCloud account in preferences.  And in the FROM box, ALL the icloud email aliases and main mac.com addresses disappeared.  But when I recreated the iCloud acount within preferences, all those aliases reappeared in the from box.
    I did another test - I set up the email account on my friend's computer (also running 10.6.8).  And same problem.  So looks like the problem is on iCloud's end. 
    Meaning that though I deleted those aliases from the iCloud website, when I create an email account from within Mail, it gets the info from the iCloud server and that hasn't been updated to reflect deleting those aliases.
    Hm.

  • How can i collect  email addresses from my web page viewers

    I would like to set up a way that if my website viewers are interested (volunterily), they can submit me their email addresses or phone numbers for further contact.
    How do I do this in iweb?
    thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can use a Wufoo form like Alancito suggested or create your own link on this demo page: Form Action comment form.
    The Form Action type of form uses the visitors email client to send the information to you. With Wufoo it's done from Wufoo. Wufoo does have a limit to the number of responses you get for free.

  • Can anyone tell me how to move my email addresses from Mac Mail to Thunderbird

    Hi all.
    I've been having so many problems with Mac Mail that I decided to give Thunderbird v17 a go. It automatically imported my emails and account settings but hasn't imported my email addresses. I know they'll automatically be added as and when I reply to incoming emails but I assumed there would be some way of adding my existing contacts in one go. Searched the net for a solution but came up empty-handed. Any help you can give me will be much appreciated.

    See how annoying really large text is?  Don't do that next time.

  • How can I capture email addresses from Sent mail???

    This may sound strange, but I'm trying to capture all the email addresses in my sent mail folder. At my work I want to send a newsletter out to folks that I previously emailed to let them know about new products. I have about 6000 emails, per year, in my 3 years of sending emails on my machine. I want to see if there is a program that allows me to go thru my folder and capture all [email protected] addresses and then I can go thru them later and delete later.
    Any thoughts?

  • How to remove an email address from spotlight?

    In the last few weeks, I have noticed that some of the emails I am getting are addressed to a user name and password that I use for a software account I have.  When I hover over the address, it shows the address under "spotlight" in the list.  When I reply to the email, it doesn't show up to the recipient of the email, but I would still like to delete this "spotlight" address.  How do I do that?

    Put the address in your Address Book. In Preferences > Junk Mail check "Sender of message in in my Address Book" to exempt it from Junk filtering.
