I am trying to setup my profile picture.
I thought it would be simple, but I can't seem to do it.
Did you add the Profile Picture the same as in my example? Notice the Email Address domain of the email address of the Sender in the "Email:" box and the path to the picture (.png) file in the "Image/path URL:" box where you can point to either a URL address or the location of an image file stored on our computer? (in my example the path is directed to an image file that I created that I have saved on my computer).
Without the "~" (or any other character that would serve to make Profile Pictures unique to email addresses and as a result list them after the Email Addresses) the Profile Pictures would not be grouped together separate from and listed after the Email Addresses. By adding the "~", in this case, it serves to group all non-Email addresses (namely - in this case Profile Pictures) alphabetically subsequent to the Email Address list. By doing this when you use the Address Book to look up an Email Address to send a message you will have all of your Email Addresses grouped together in alphabetical order at the top of the list which is all you would be interested in seeing for purposes of sending messages (i.e. the Profile Pictures listed alphabetically after the Email Addresses are not something you're going to be interested in as far as finding an Email Address in the Address Book. Try starting to compose a message and open the Address book (assuming you have some Email Addresses there) -- what is it you'd be interested in seeing -- answer: Only Email addresses (not Profile Pictures) which by applying my method is all you will see at the top of the list prior to seeing any Profile Pictures.
In the case of picture files (.png files) they are linked to the stored location on your computer (i.e the "Folder") where you saved the Picture file that you created. In other words the picture files are linked to where they are stored. In the case of a URL -- your linking to the URL (web site address).
Jeff is absolutely correct this list does exist (I should have covered this as well). That said however, I have a considerable number of messages from senders that are not in the list (if there is any duplication it's likely that at some point they may have not been included in the "default list" at some point in the past.) Some of my Picture Profile entries are there because when discussing these specific senders with Jeff at the time I recall that he did not consider some of them "common" enough to be included in the "Default" list (entirely understandable). My method addresses any such cases that I still might want to have a Picture Profile for (at least I find my approach helps facilitate my looking up the "Email Addresses" I do use to correspond with when I need to compose a message and might not recall the exact address). Whether my approach makes sense for anyone else -- that's up to the individual as it is purely optional obviously.Jeff wrote: ↑Wed May 13, 2020 2:22 pm POP Peeper provides a default list of "corporate" email addresses so that a picture will appear for email from them (e.g. amazon.com) without having to provide an entry into the address book. This is obviously not a complete list but I can see that at least one of the entries in lakrsrool's list already exists in the default list. But I'd be happy to update the list to include more if someone wants to send me the data...
