We already use autocompletion in some plugins. For example in the ACL plugin: https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/blob/master/plugins/acl/acl.js#L12 or in the Kolab calendar plugin: http://git.kolab.org/roundcubemail-plugins-kolab/tree/plugins/calendar/calendar_ui.js#n2575 After initializing the input field with rcmail.init_address_input_events() you can catch the selected address using an event listener: rcmail.addEventListener('autocomplete_insert', function(e){ /* do something with e.insert */ }); However, you still have to post-process the value with some regex to fit the purpose of your plugin.
