Preferences->Autocompletion and tick the address books you want to use.
See also Preferences->Mail Preferences->Automatic Contacts.

Note that this list is fine for discussing problems and ideas, but

the appropriate topic (Evolution/Mail or whatever). That way there's a
way of tracking them and developers might actually pay attention (you
