My guess would be store it in the address book.

Hey everyone,

I had an idea for a feature that I think would be handy. Whenever
you send an email or reply to an email, have RoundCube remember the address
you're mailing and use that in addition to the address book for
autocompletion suggestions when you're typing the Recipient field.

Before I start coding this patch, my questions are:

1. Is anybody working on this feature already?
2. Would anybody else like to see this feature added?
3. What would be the best way to store the email addresses? A new

MySQL table? A flatfile? As address book records with an extra flag to
prevent them from showing in the address book view?

Why no? :) I mean, personally I'd add it right away but I think what possibly could be "good" would be a counter (config option) - e.g. after 10 times using an address it creates a "full" record - before it is hidden. People who want to skip that set it to 0. This could be really nice, but it also increases the DB/addressbook size if you are a frequent mailer or if you run an install for many people.

IMO the local address book is the place store the data. The idea about hiding them sounds good and I like the suggestion with the counter. Maybe we need an extra option to show those hidden entries in the address book.

Another idea is to create a new database table with the same layout as the contacts have. Now we can use the rcube_contacts class to create another local address book instance called "Collected Addresses". This would perfectly fit into the current address book view of RoundCube and would also allow users to drag&drop records from/to this new address book.
