Auto-collected contacts

Every time you send an email to a new address, onmeil.eu remembers it in a separate list — Auto-collected (or Other contacts). That way you don't have to hunt for the address the next time you want to send something, and you can move it into your main contact list once the person is worth saving properly.

Where do you find them?

Go to Contacts and choose Auto-collected (or Other contacts) in the side menu. You'll see a list with:

• The email address
• How many times you've sent to it (sent {n} times)
• The last time you sent (last: {date})

If you've never sent email to anyone who isn't already a contact, you'll see "No auto-collected addresses yet — email recipients show up here."

Add an address to your contacts

When you want a person to be a proper contact — with a name, phone number, or other details:

1. Find the address in the list
2. Click Add to my contacts
3. You'll get the confirmation "Added {email} to your contacts."

The person is now in your main contact list, and you can edit the contact card to fill in more fields.

Add several at once

If you have a lot of addresses to clean up:

1. Select several with the checkboxes
2. Click Add selected to my contacts
3. You'll get the total: "Added {n} to your contacts."

Remove an auto-collected address

Addresses you don't want hanging around — for example a mistyped address or a one-off exchange — can be removed:

1. Find the address
2. Click Remove
3. Confirm: "Remove {email} from Other contacts?"

To remove several at once, select them and click Remove selected.

Removing is local only

Removing an address from auto-collected doesn't make it "blocked" — it just means we no longer keep it in this helper list. If you send to the same address again, it shows up once more.

Send email straight from the list

Click Send email next to an address to open a new Compose window with the address pre-filled.

What does "Already in your contacts" mean?

If you have a contact who already has that email address, we show "Already in your contacts" — instead of the Add button — so you don't end up with duplicates.

Tips

• Tidy up regularly. Auto-collected grows fast, and it's easy to miss useful contacts among all the one-off exchanges
• Use Add aggressively for people you've sent to more than 2-3 times
• Remove old addresses that are no longer valid (people who've changed jobs, and so on)
