Hi,

'Mail' seems to remember every single address I have ever sent an email to. The resulting database is entirely separate to 'Address Book'.

How can I affect this database? There are some addresses I would like to delete for instance.

It must be an invisible file somewhere...

Does anybody know?

Thanks

Good question, I was wondering about the same thing actually.

Well, the previous recipients window in Mail has a delete button. Why don't you just click this to delete previous recipients?

Aha !

Amazing! I had never noticed that menu item... what a dummy...

Thanks!

Keep inmind that a fair amount of file locations and formats are likely to change for Tiger, and Mail is a prime example. The new features they're talking about, coupled with the fact that they're integrating SQLite (a public-domain embedded SQL database) into the OS, would seem to indicate that Mail will almost certainly start using it. That will probably change more than a few file formats, because while it's possible to bring other file formats into a SQLite database, the slowdown generally isn't worth the trouble unless you plan to only import once and then save in SQLite's own database format.
