Hiya gang, Using SuSE 9.3's Kmail, when I want to compose a new email, and click the 'select' button for the 'To' line, it brings up a list of addresses to pick from window. Most are the addresses I have in my addressbook because they're the ones I put there, but there are others that are there that I don't want in there, but I cannot for the life of me get rid of the darn things. They aren't in kabc, nor in my addressbook if I bring it up. Where are these things being stored? Why can't I right-click on them and delete them? Any clues to fix this little niggling problem greatly appreciated. PS Got my 67 year old mom using 9.3 now too, and she uses it 100% of the time, she doesn't boot into her windows partition ever anymore, but this Kmail thing is bothering her also, a lot more than it's bothering me, heh.

PS
What you are looking at are your 'recent addresses' that Kmail keeps for you. Thus, if today you make a typo and address something to: xonaton@tds.net you're going to see that address forever (or a long time) in your 'recent address' list. This stuff bugged me so much I put in a wish list item on it asking for a way to turn it off. But they went one better. Try right clicking on the To line..... and you will see that you can select 'Edit recent addresses'. Go cut and chop to your hearts content. In the future, they say there will also be the option to turn off recent addresses completely.
