Is there an option to save the sender's address into the address book automatically when replying to an email? Where is it? I think I need to turn it off!!

I have been having enormous trouble with emails from a group of people who use the same 'noreply' return address. It seems that the name of one of these people was inserted into my address book together with the 'noreply' email address. Every email received from the group over the recent past has been overwritten by that name as being the sender.

I don't know if, at some time in the past, I (accidentally?) hit the reply button triggering an update to the address book - or what else could have happened.

I found the record concerned in the address book and deleted it, which has stopped the problem. But I need to stop the problem recurring.

I've spent days trying to sort this out and am now totally confused so I do hope my explanation above is clear. Please point me in the right direction for a solution

Thanks David, I knew it must be somewhere but I just could not find it. However, I followed your directions and found it to be UNchecked already. I guess I'll wait until another email comes in from the group I mentioned and click 'reply' as a test.

click settings>composition and there is a box to tick/untick for saving outgoing email addresses. These are saved in the collected addressbook, so it's easy to locate and delete them.

Hilfreich?
