Auto complete in email From:

Post by Rose Ford »

I've taken on a few more sub-jobs and now have another 3 email address and the drop down list to select what email address an email is from is now unbearable.

Because the drop down list also needs to hold all the alias for each account as well, my From: drop down list contains over 50 entries, that are not even sorted alphabetically, instead they seem to be sorted by order added which makes it even more time consuming to select the proper From: email address.

+1 I'd also really like this. I've just been living with the current drop down box, but if I didn't have to that would be great.

So what's your suggestion? To sort the items in the From drop down box alphabetically by default?

No, replace the drop down box with a combo box with auto complete.

Edit: Although having the list sorted alphabetically by email address would be nice.


Same kind of box you use here in the new appointment window:
