Ah ok Stephen, I think what you are meaning to find is Address Panel.
Mail relies on the system-wide Contacts app to store frequently used email addresses. If you haven’t already filled in Contacts with your most frequently used email addresses, consider doing so—it will make your life a lot easier. In Mail, you can address your email 'manually', using the Address Panel (which provides a little portal to Contacts), or using 'Automatic Address Completion'. A) Automatic Address Completion: If you type the first few letters of a person’s first or last name or email address, or a group’s name, in the desired field (To, Cc, or Bcc), Mail automatically displays all matching entries from Contacts, your Previous Recipients list, any Exchange server to which you’re connected, and any defined LDAP servers. Then you can use the Up and Down arrow keys to select the one you want, press Return, and you’re done. Automatic address completion is on by default, and when it works well, it is certainly an easy way to address messages; however before you decide to use it unthinkingly Address Panel B) Address Panel: Another way to address an email message is to find the desired address(es) in the Address Panel. Here’s how: 1. Working in an outgoing message, if the Address panel isn’t already open, open it by choosing Window > Address Panel. 2. If you can’t easily find the email address or group you want, search by name or address using the handy Search field at the upper right. 3. Once you locate the address or group, select it (or Command-click to select multiple addresses). 4. To address your message, either click the To, Cc, or Bcc button or drag the selected items to an address field in the message window.
