Hello!
I have a contact person and he has two email addresses.
For example
a@x.com
b@x.com
I used the b@ at first. a@ later registered.
Now everytime I search for this person, the b@ showed first in the combobox (email address suggestion).
The person name is same, and b@ has higher string sort order.
What can I do? How can I reverse these elements?
Maybe the TDB shows me them in registration time order, or higher usage as first. I don't know.
I want just get the a@ as first in the list.
Where can I search and how can I edit the mail addresses in the filesystem?
Or can I set the list order in the GUI?
Thank you for your help!
Best regards
dd

Re: Email address suggestion order
Thunderbird displays autofill recommendations based on frequency of usage.Maybe the TDB shows me them in registration time order, or higher usage as first. I don't know.

Re: Email address suggestion order
Address books dropped Mork and are sqlite based starting with version 78. There was a bug fix a while ago to give priority to the primary address in a contact, over the additional email address. Its possible that is broken, Thunderbird suffers from regression bugs.
The CardBook add-on at https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/th ... src=search has its own preferences for auto-complete. I suggest you try using it. See https://gitlab.com/CardBook/CardBook/-/ ... hunderbird . It includes the ability to specify which address (when there are multiple addresses for a contact) is preferred.
