using different addresses in mailing lists
Hello everyone, I have stored several e-mail addresses for most of my contacts (private address, business address, etc.) and now I want to create mailing lists that use different addresses of those contacts for different uses. But even if I add a specific address of a contact in a mailing list the address is altered to the address that ist marked as standard for this contact on saving the mailing list. So all mailing lists end up with the same addresses for the same contacts instead of different ones. Is that a intended behavour? Or in other words: mailing lists can solely contain addresses marked as 'standard'. It is not possible to use a 'alternative' e-mail address in a mailing list. I hope there is a way to achieve this which I haven't found so far. Kind regards, Peter

I think the only workaround is to create separate contacts with the different (secondary) addresses.
The Cardbook add-on has a better process. In creating a mailing list, you can either add the standard address for a contact by clicking 'Add', or click 'Add email addresses' to add all addresses for that contact. Just select the unwanted standard address and Remove and the list will contain the alternative (or other) address.

I'm still a bit confused that this is not managable in TB itself (creating separate contacts with single/different addresses is not an option. That defies the idea of an address book itself) or that this is the intended behaviour. But anyway using the Cardbook add-on does do the trick and solves my problem. Thank you very much!
