Address History

Can someone explain the purpose of that tab?

You can right click on any address entry in the list and chose what to do with it or view the message history If you cleared it you can rescan by going to OPTIONS / PREFERENCES / ADDRESS HISTORY and choosing what accounts you want to scan etc

I have most of my accounts checked in Address History Preferences and set for Outgoing mail. I assumed it collects the addresses when an email is sent. Is that correct? I have all my inboxes set to display in a common virtual folder and reply from that folder. Could that interfere with address collection?

Honestly, I don't use that feature much but I DID wipe mine out once and rescanning was the solution for me/ And yes, I sent out emails and checked that tab and they didn't show. I am really not sure what trips it off to save into that view.

I was hoping for some suggestions on how to use and the advantage of the tab. Here's what they said: "The Addresses tab displays messages by the criteria set under the "Options\Preferences\Address History" menu."
