Mail: Contacts saved in folder "last contacted"

Created on 12 Nov 2020  路  7Comments  路  Source: nextcloud/mail

When I send a mail to several e-mail addresses, all contacts are saved in a system folder called "last contacted".

This is actually very helpful. However, these contacts can neither be deleted nor changed. They cannot be assigned to groups either.

Mail app version: 1.7.0
Contacts app version: 3.4.1
Mailserver or service: hoststar.ch

Server configuration
Operating system: Debian 10
Web server: Apache
Database: MariaDB
PHP version: 7.3.19
Nextcloud Version: 20.01

Client configuration
Browser: Firefox
Operating system: MacOS / Linux Debian

This is a Nextcloud server feature: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/19075. The address book is indeed read-only. As far as I know there should be an option in Contacts to create a "real" contact from an interaction. @skjnldsv could you link the PR?

Mail is just one of the applications that emits data for this.

Also @cracksilver note that the recently contacted persons will also disappear after a while if you don't contact them again :)

hi there

The problem is that it doesn't work to duplicate the address.

Please open a bug report at https://github.com/nextcloud/contacts and include the browser console log. Sounds like this is an error that should be shown there. Checking nextcloud.log as well would be good.

On an unrelated note I think you're running Nextcloud for a school and we'd love to hear more about this https://twitter.com/Nextclouders/status/1326939065963450373 :)

;-) no, i am in no way affiliated with a school. i'm only on the parents' council. That's why I have the class addresses in there ...
