I think we are talking about different things. When you use autocomplete, you wouldn't see a list of all addresses. The way autocomplete works is you start typing an name or address directly in the field â not by hitting the To: button. After typing a few letters, autocomplete will suggest matches in a drop-down list. It will not show all addresses, only the ones that match your partial input. If you are using the dialog that pops up when you hit the To:, CC: or other buttons, it may not display all of your addresses. You sometimes have to type part of the name or address and let it search. On my install, this is the way it works for the Exchange Global Address List. All of my personal contacts from the Exchange server are displayed immediately as you seem to be wanting. I am not an evolution developer so don't know what makes one list load while the other is merely searchable. For my purposes, it doesn't matter anyway, because, I never care about seeing the whole list; I'd rather let it search. On Tue, 2008-05-13 at 10:21 -0400, Joseph Simmons wrote:

You can configure in the preferences dialog which addressbooks are consulted for autocomplete. You can also configure which addressbook, if any collects addresses you have used. Usually it seems to be the "Personal" address book by default. So it looks like yours is set to only consult with the Personal Address Book when doing autocomplete. -- Art Alexion MIS x3075
