Internal email between users

Is there way we can accomplish (by a code change atleast) to restrict email to only internal users of the system? Thanks

you could just "compose" and "send" to a dead email address, then reassign the now-sent email to the intended user... a bit of a hack, but no code mods.

Is there a way to get sugar user list to appear in the contact search popup when you compose an email?

I don't really want to add our company and users as contacts just to acheive this?

Good question - the short answer is "no".

The long answer is probably. Users and Contacts share lots of common fields so it would be relatively trivial to write a UNION query to join up a list of Users with Contacts. See the results from scheduling a meeting/call and adding invitees - that is exactly the query that needs to be run.

The procedure to do this is somewhat painful (in 4.x versions). I do want a full implementation for 5.0 so look for this out-of-the-box.
