Disable addresses collected in Thunderbird

When you see the address book in email program from Mozilla, as well as the personal address book that contains all our addresses, there is also a group called "collected addresses" that can include many records. Let's see what and how we can get rid of it.

Disable addresses collected in Thunderbird

The users who use Thunderbird as your email program on your computer are now many. Some of them also make use of the book, maybe that is the same as Gmail kept up to date by synchronizing.

Well, some time ago I received a call from a friend who complains about the presence of a long series of addresses in his address book. After a series of questions to understand the problem, I discovered that he was referring to the collected addresses which can be accessed from the Address book.

What are

Addresses collected Thunderbird, along the lines of those of Gmail, Thunderbird are all those who took part because we used them as recipients of our emails or have received emails from senders not listed in the phone book and chose to view remote images.

These are the two cases where Thunderbird saves an address in this list, independent of our personal address book. If neglected, this list may become very extensive, as shown by the arrows in the image above.

How to get rid of

Avoid this unwanted rescue of the address is simple. Let us go through the options button in the upper right. We click and then click Composition and then the Addresses.

We click on the Automatically add outgoing e-mail recipient to so that there is no check mark.

After you have done this and confirmed with Ok, we can proceed to the manual emptying the list of addresses collected, but we're not done.

Disfiamocene forever

In fact, the process is not yet complete. First, in fact, as I pointed out are two circumstances in which the addresses are automatically added to the list. One is the outgoing, the other is made from images. To ensure that images are always loaded and the address is not added to the directory, we need to make a change to the advanced configuration of Thunderbird. Let's move on the Advanced and click on Configuration Editor.

We confirm the will to void the warranty and try remote_image in the text field.

At this point, double-click on the only result of this work will take the value from true to false.

It should be noted, however, that with this method the images of emails from recipients in the address book will always be shown. In this case, therefore, if you usually receive numerous phishing emails, you should not enable this configuration because of the risk you take in automatically upload images which may contain malicious code.

Also if you decide to proceed, this change will complete the process and from now on you will not have to worry about the addresses collected Thunderbird.
