I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to allow a user to choose from among multiple email addresses for a contact from their Personal address book. We know that you can have more than one email address for a contact by using the “Other email 1” and so on. Maybe that’s just for information purposes though, but I figured I’d ask out here and see if anyone knows of a way to choose among those. Thanks for any help or assistance!
Subject: Multiple email addresses for a contact
The “Other Email 1” and so on is just for information purposes, and can’t be used directly in the address dialog. If you want to use that address you end up doing it manually.
If you want them to be prompted to choose the address they want, create two contact docs with the exact same first and last name but different email addresses. On send, they’ll get an ambiguous name dialog which shows the email addresses so they can pick which one.
If you want them to be able to choose during addressing and not have to get a prompt on send, create two similar contact docs with slightly different names. This is what most of our users do. They have John Doe-work and John Doe-home, and can choose between those when addressing the memo.
