Use saved contacts when composing an email
-
When composing an email (on webmail), I do not have way to choose a saved (or more than one) contact in the "to" field. Nothing happens. The contacts book is the personal and is configurated in settings. It only works if I write the full adress(es)
Anyone knows what is happenning? -

On the right side of the "To" field, click on the Add contact button. Looks a little like this emoji
.
Click on that to find your contacts. If you want to select multiple at once, click on the Select
button at the bottom.I also tested adding contacts by typing and it offered contacts that matched. Then, either by pressing Enter or clicking on a suggestion, it was added to the "To" field. Doesn't that happen for you?

No. There is no such buttons in my webmail, nor clicking mouse right button.
When I start writing an adress it only appears my own.
Something is wrong with this.
When I click in "About" it shows me the information in the attached file
I also tryed with the Vivaldi built-in mail provider... -
Default Settings > Preferences > Interface > Elastic shows the option to select contacts, as highlighted below, the other skins do not:
I am stumped as to why matching addresses are not shown as you type.
Maybe consider raising the former issue as a bug and investigate further the latter issue.

In the old theme, that you're using, there indeed is no button to open the contacts menu, but it has a contacts panel on the right side, where you can double click on the contact to add it as a recipient.
But I do recommend switching to the new Elastic theme, like @yojimbo274064400 instructed.
Do you get suggestions as you type with the new theme?

Thank you for your help. I have found that my contacts list (that I have imported from a csv file) are not ok. It only has names and phone numbers. No e-mail addresses. Something went wrong. I have to check why and import again those contacts and then I will see if it works...
