Situation

Drag & Drop an email address from address book does not work if address book was opened from the icon in the "mail to:" window

Resolution

The drag and drop is working as designed. The address book dialog is modal and it is not possible to drop behind a modal dialog.

  2. Close the address book
  3. Click the address book icon in client window
  4. Select a mail address and try to drag and drop it to the email To: field
