# claws-mail-address-keeper(7)

keep outgoing addresses in address book

## NAME

claws-mail-address-keeper - keep outgoing addresses in address book

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **claws-mail-address-keeper** package.

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page

**claws-mail-address-keeper** is a plugin (loadable module) for the *Claws Mail* mailer.

It allows saving typed outgoing addresses to address book automatically in case they are unknown, i.e., not already present in the address book.

## USAGE

Before using a plugin you must instruct *Claws Mail* to load it on startup.

For this you must go “Configuration” menu on main window toolbar, open “Plugins...”  dialog, click on the “Load plugin...”  button and select the plugin file, named **address\_keeper.so**, and press the “Open” button.

## LIMITATIONS

Messages have to be sent or saved for later sending for the address collection to work. Addresses will be saved regardless the success of the sending operation.
