When I type wil in the To line in the composition window, the result is an entry who's last name is Wilbur and which has no nickname at all. The algorithm for finding addresses in the phone book should have the highest precedence on a full string match of nickname (after all, why did the user take the time to enter a nick name after all). Imho, the precedence should be: 1) Full string match on nickname 2) Full string match on last name 3) Full string match on first name 4) Initial string match on nickname 5) Initial string match on last name 6) Initial string match on first name You may not think this is important, but anything that causes mail to get sent to the wrong user inadvertantly is just about he worst possible problem a mailer can have. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create an entry with wil as the nickname 2. Create an entry with Wilber as the last name 3. Enter wil in the To: field of the composition window Actual Results: The entry with the last name Wilbur is autocompleted Expected Results: The entry with the nickname wil should have been autocompleted I entered this defect before, and have seen others report it. However, I searched Bugzilla and, searching for nickname, did not find it. I apologize if this is duplicate, but after about 30min searching, I couldn't find the old bug.

I have multiple address books, which appear, and I assume are searched in alphabetical order. The entry for Wilber appears in an address book at the top, which begins with A. The entry with wil as the nickname appears in an address book further down, which begins with I. Perhaps the solution is to allow the user to set the order by which the address books are searched?

I totally agree. I send several email sto the wrong person in the last days. I changed back to Mozilla Suite, which does not has not this in my opinion really serious bug.

And also from any decent mail client by the way: only an idiot would prefer to have all substring matches from LDAP or collected address book take precedence over the hand-crafted, ultra-short nicknames. So currently for me Thunderbird is unusable, because of theis very nickname issue. Since this bug was reported 8 months ago, and judged just a feature request
