537825 - Alternate email is suggested first

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 497722

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Konstantin Svist]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091216 Fedora/3.5.6-1.fc12 Firefox/3.5.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091209 Fedora/3.0-4.fc12 Thunderbird/3.0

When composing a new message, I start typing in a person's name in the To: field. The first suggestion that pops up should be their primary email (as listed in the Address Book). Instead, the "Additional Email" is offered first.
This means if I don't pay enough attention, email to my boss goes to his personal mailbox instead of company one... and emails to my friends go to the mailboxes they rarely check.

Reproducible: Always

It's a dupe of Wontfix bug.

Comment 2

[Konstantin Svist]

Don't think so. That bug says it's supposed to use PopularityIndex and it used to work great until about TB 3.0
Definitely worked in 2.x and 3.x betas which were shipped with Fedora

It's possible PopularityIndex got screwed up in my profile/DB - if that's the case, I need instructions for fixing it.

This should be marked as a duplicate of bug 276632. And this last should be
reopened, but as it is already in fixed state nobody is looking at it.

Should we fill a new bug claiming that the feature described by bug 276632 is apparently broken or missing?

this is a regression specific to version 3. the other bugs should not be changed, as far as I can tell
