How do I disable Kmail from adding email recipients to address book?(SOLVED)

[rovernaut]

I haven't used KMAIL until now, and every email recipient gets automatically added to the address book. I can't find where to disable this setting.
Also when I open address book I can't see any entries, but when I select it from the write email it will give me the choice of addresses.
Thanks

Hi, well, as you noted at the end of your note, they are not added to the contacts list. KMail just remembers the last email addresses you used (to receive/send email), and offers autocompletion, which I find really useful. I am not sure if the length of the list can be configured, I would browse the Settings menu for that ...

You can stop this by going to Configure Kmail->Composer and unchecking "Use recent addresses for autocompletion"
