Are you using an addon for that? I am aware of a setting to keep addresses of outgoing messages, but not automatically to keep addresses of incoming ones .

No, I'm not using any addon. I need to disable autocollection feature. It is enabled by default.

Do the addresses remain even if you do not reply? That is puzzling to me.
