Hello, I recieved a spam message in my inbox. I can't delete it or move it to the trash folder. When I finally did open it, I got a message that an error had occured to the folder (forgot the exact words) and did I want to repair it now? How can I get rid of this message?

Re: AB templates for groups
Hello Thomas, No - it would be a duplicate AB entry outside of the group. Not over here, as I have only one AB entry for my sister. When I create a new message using right-click (i.e. activating Favourites) the AB's New Message template kicks in; if I use autocomplete from history instead, I get the Account template. I have seen this behaviour just over the weekend. The AB New Message template kicks in is double clicking on AB itself or from Favourites, and I get the Account template if autocomplete. However, in my case, this happened ONLY with AB entries which had a duplicate in another AB, one I use to do a mailout of a newsletter. So, there is no duplication within my main and default AB, but the same e-mail address (no name or anything else) does have an entry in another AB. Is it a bug yet?
