searching all addresses

[how-much]

Hello,

When I add a adress to a new mail I can start typing in the Name of the receiver and whilst typing Aqua Mail searches matches in the addressbook. But only in the addressbook.
When I open the "recent addresses" and start typing there, it searches in the recent addresses.
So far so good.

Now I have two questions:

1. Is there a way to make Aqua Mail to search over all stored addresses whilst typing in the receivers field?
2. Is there a way to make Aqua Mail store automatically all addresses. But not in the adressbook of the device or system but in the same way it stores the recent addresses? Not only the recent ones but all which can be found in all the folders of the account. Kind of global list of all used addresses? And if yes, can I make Aqua Mail to search this list whilst typing in the receives field?

Thank you for your answer!

I use GMX / IMAP

Well, that Aqua Mail is able to use the addressbook stored in the Android device and/or the google-contacts is clear to me.

But not all emails in my account have a associated contact in my addressbook. E.g. If I send a mail to a webshop (info@webshops_name.com) I don´t make a new google-contact for this to store the email address. I just type, send and forget :-)
But if I want to send again a mail to this shop and I start typing "webshop" for the receiver´s name in the "TO"-field Aqua Mail doesn´t find "info@webshops_name.com".
Tapping on the contacts-icon left of the "To"-field opens a dialog which shows "contacts", "groups" and "recent" (hope the translation is correct. I use Aqua Mail in german language)
If I select "recent" and start typing "webshop" in the search-field Aqua-Mail finds the full address.

It seems that Aqua-Mail only searches the stored addresses on the device and/or google, when typing directly in the "To"-field. But not the automatically stored adresses from the recent conversations.
The question is now:
How can I make Aqua mail search ALL stored addresses when typing in the "To"-field? And is it possible to make Aqua Mail not to temporarily store the addresses of the "recent" conversations but store all addresses I have ever used in the same way it stores the "recent" ones?

Hope, I explained the problem now more clearly

Thanks a lot.

Thank you paris geek,

I saw this feature but I am not sure where These contacts then added.
Are they added to my google-contacts or my sytem-contacts in my device. Or are they added to a kind of internal contact-list that´s only accessible for Aqua-Mail?

I DON'T want every contact being stored in my google contacts or my system contacts and appear later in every application that uses contacts.

Can you tell me, if this list is a special list that only Aqu-Mail uses?

And if it is one of the global contact-list, is it then possible to select a special Group where the contacts then stored automatically?

Thanks a lot,

Well, I see that AquaMail is really a very good email Client, no doubt.
And if the Contacts are stored in a separat Group everything is fine. I just want to avoid a big mess with my "real" contacts and the automatically stored contacts.

Within all the different clients I have looked at, AquaMail is the best one I have found.

Thanks again for your kind help.

Ups, I think I have to ask you something again:

You wrote:

>> App settings -> Contacts -> Auto-add contacts (select)

In german menu I found something like:

Settings -> integrate contacts -> auto-add contacts (automatically adds recipients to your contacts)

So only the recipients are added to the contacts? That confuses me. You said that you are not wishing to see spam adresses when you compose a message.

If only the recipients are stored, how can there be a spam-adress? Normally nobody SENDS mails to a spam-recipient..

Or am I in the wrong menue?

You found the right settings:

Thank you very much at all !!!

>> I'm anticipating some further questions related to email addresses

*smile* this is the thing I would have never asked because the first thing I did after installing AquaMail was switching off these boxes ;-)

But thank you so much for all your really helpful explanations.

You are welcome.
Enjoy working with AquaMail

First, IMAP does not provide access to server contacts.

There are other, unrelated, network protocols for that -- if you're coming from GMX's or Fastmail's app, then those have it built-in of course, but for us peons third party developers, things are different.

Second, you can easily save the sender's email when viewing an incoming message. Just tap the sender's image (or placeholder / color chip).

Third, Aqua has a setting to automatically save the recipients of your messages -- as you send them -- in system contacts, under the first @gmail account (where they will be synced to Google's servers). This is off by default, to enable, app settings -> contacts -> "auto-add contacts".
