How do I get the "David" I use most to be the default "David" when typing in the TO field?
Aaarrggghh! I've now accidentally sent internal emails on a stealth project to someone outside the company 6 times.
When I start typing "David" in the TO field, I assume (from habits picked up from Outlook and Eudora) that the top-of-the-list David will be the one I use the most, and I keep tying just "David" then hitting ENTER.
Turns out, in Postbox, that doesn't seem to be the case. So instead of getting David Smith (the David I want), I'm getting David McWhatever (an old co-worker I keep in touch with) in my TO field all the time. The fact that David McWhatever comes up first seems to be entirely arbitrary. He's NOT the David highest in the alphabet in my Addresses.
How can I make Postbox put David Smith (who I email 20-30 times a day) as the first (default) option when I type "David" in the TO field?
This is driving be bonkers.

Inappropriate?David,
In the short term, you can add a profile picture to the correct David so that he stands out.
I'll check in with the team on the algorithm used to populate the list. -
Inappropriate?Hi Rob,
If the cards are in the postbox address book we keep track of how often you send mail to that card and then sort the autocomplete results with the most frequent listed first.
If the cards are coming from the mac address book which doesn't have this field we don't do that.
