Thanks to the help from here, I have now found the solution solved this by adding the following line to emacs init.el: (setq bbdb-message-pop-up nil) > Updating the info pages is on my todo list.

For my purposes, I will keep learning from the 2.35 manual with this in mind.

I believe there was never such a variable. Yes, sorry, this should be bbdb-always-add-addresses as in section 1.7.1 of the BBDB 2.35 manual. >> Regardless of method, BBDB keeps asking me to add mails!

You are right, it should be new records. Each time a new mail sender or news poster is encountered, BBDB asks to add a record of the unknown address to the database. This was resolved by setting the bbdb-message-popup variable to nil.
