WAIT UP ANGUS !
I am one amongst prosbably many who have never used Entourage and
as a consequence have no idea what your problem can be caused by.
I use Netscape Messenger and until recently version 4.79 and it had no
such automatic function to add email addresses that I have come across.
However version 7.0.2 which I have just started trialling
does have that as an alternative selectable in the mail preferences
somewhere.
I suggest yours should have a choice in preferences SOMEWHERE.
You just have to find it.
Have fun

Hi Neil
Somehow or other every e-mail I receive has it's senders address added to
the Entourage address book.
Due to this I have nearly 1500 e-addresses in the address book - which is
insane.
However since you have provided the only response to my dilemma I can only
assume that no-one else takes me seriously :-(
Thanks anyway :-)

can find this option anywhere.

As far as I can establish it isn't possible to automatically add new
addresses to the address book in Entourage. You can of course manually
create a new address by using the new contact menu command, or by pointing
at the 'from' header in any received message and doing a 'control + click'
(which brings up an 'add to address book' option).
What Entourage will allow you to do - which serves the same purpose that you
want - is to show you a list of recently used addresses (from messages in
your inbox and outbox) when you are addressing a new message. To turn this
feature on you need to go to Mail and News Preferences > Compose> Recently
Used Addresses and check the box if you want to turn this feature on.
What this means is that if I wanted to send a message to you all I need to
do is type 'a' or 'an' in the 'To' field and I immediately get a drop down
list of everyone I have sent or received a message from who's name starts
with 'a' or 'an', from which I can choose your name.
