Did you check your Autocompletion Folders?

This is where they are in 2.0.x, I don't remember exactly where they
used to be in 1.4.x versions:

  Tools / Settings / Autocompletion

You need to enable any Address Book, that should be used as source for
autocompletion. If it is already set, try un-setting and re-set it. In
case the LDAP server has issues, try un-setting it.
