[MlMt] Editing learned recipients.

[aisrael]

I have basically the same issue : if MM were to use my Sent folder,  it 
would not remember anything as the folder is essentially empty (only the 
address book would be remembered).  Does MM remember everything that has 
been once in the Sent folder (before being stored in a different 
folder), or only the messages which are currently located in the Sent 
folder? If I look now in the Address panel, I find 9 addresses, which 
seems consistent with the second hypothesis, and makes the system 
useless if you don’t keep mails in the Sent folder.
  Is there a way that the app could remember every address it sees, 
whether received or sent? This is basically the way Thunderbird used to 
work (which is not necessarily a good argument, but this was quite 
powerful). Do I understand this wrong, or is there a workaround so that 
MM uses something else than the Sent folder to collect addresses? Is it 
possible for example to create a smart mailboxes that would contain ALL 
messages which have been sent, and to instruct MM to use that mailbox to 
collect and remember addresses?

Otherwise the solution is to enter every new address by hand in the 
Address book, which is awfully cumbersome.
