Comments.Text: Thanks. But I do not think it gives option to merge contacts of same address or filter "do not mail"

Comments.Text: You can filter 'do not mail' in the Adv Search. For the 'merge contacts of same address', what do you want the actually outcome to be, eg if you have 7 people at same address does it join together all 7 names?

Comments.Text: did you actually try the extension or just not see 5.x listed? if you tried it did you post an issue on veda's issue queue about their extension working for 5.x (5.x wasn't a substantive update from 4.x!)
