Trunk build 2001-09-11: Linux RH 7.1
I created a new profile, configured a mail account, selected a message and it is
adding the address to the Collected Address Book. Can you try a recent build?

Either you explained yourself wrong or you did not understand this bug.
This bug is about mozilla _not_ auto adding a mail user to the address book.
Mozilla has an option to auto capture email addresses from mail messages. This
is _not_ about manually adding a mail address when right clicking it and
selecting "add..."

In the Address Book spec's (http://mozilla.org/mailnews/specs/addressbook/),
"Email Address Collection" section, the first bullet item under Details states:

"*  Addresses are added to the "Collected Addresses" AB when a user views a
message (not when message are received) ..."

To view a message I have to select the message (I did not right-click to access
any  options).

Ok ok i forgot to say i actually *read* the messages i receive...
So bugzilla-daemon should be on my address book with this message, and it's not
This is my third post trying to say that mail address collection is broken

Finally, WFM 2001100408
When i click in "address" i have 2 folders: personal address book and collected
addresses. Writing a new mail, i can type some letters and it auto completes
when a match is found.
