Add contacts with names to Mail's recipient list
Authored by: joh on Mar 27, '07 03:02:20AM

Man, I hate that application...

I looked at the Previous Recipients window and realized it contained thousands of addresses, most of which I never sent mail to. Obviously Mail.app had just saved every address I ever *got* mail from, including the spam. So I started to delete the obvious spammy ones. After a hundred or so Mail showed me the Spinning Pizza of Death. When I finally ran out of patience a few minutes later I force quit it. After restarting it, it still did nothing than spinning and eating 80% CPU. Great. I tried to launch Activity Monitor, but Quicksilver was dead, too. Tried to log out. I had to force quit several applications, among them iCal, before I could log out.

After logging in again Mail starts up, finally. The Previous Recipients list is empty now...

When you unjunk a message Mail will add the sender's address to your previous list.
