Resolving mail-adresses

Hi,

i sent a mail. I use as address a short name like John Doe. I got this name in two addressbooks. Once in a global server-addressbook(John.Doe@earthlink.com) and my personal addressbook (John.Doe@Hotmail.com). The names are similar but it isn’t the same person. When i sent the mail Notes shoud display a selection dialogbox. This dialogbox would not be displayed.

The configuration of the location is:

Recipient name type-ehead: Locla then Server

Activate recipient name type ahead: On Each character

Recipient name lookup: Exhaustively check all adress books

Mail addressing: Local and Server

Can anybody help?

Alas, no - notes has already found a match in your local address book, and hence will use that.

Why would notes go off and check the server address book "on the off chance " there might be another match?

If you had two entries in your local address book which were similar, or two in the global address book, and notes could not find a definitive match you would be prompted.

Had the same problem here for a user, so he created an entry in his local address book with a surname of “home” for his home email address.

I hope this helps

Hi,

i found a work around. I’ ve change my user preferences and add the local names to my local addressbooks.

Now when i send the the selectionbox will appear.

Any idea?
