Edit -> Preferences -> Contacts and under the General tab there's an Autocompletion section with all the address books listed and you can tick/untick them there. (Well it is for 3.34, don't know for 3.30, but I don't think it's changed for ages) You can find information on this in the included documentation: Help -> Contents -> Contact Management -> Autocompletion of mail recipients or in Mail Composing -> Autocompletion of mail recipients. The same help can be found on the net - the first hit for "evolution mail autocomplete" on Google is to the same answer. https://help.gnome.org/users/evolution/stable/contacts-autocompletion.html.en P. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
