I use three character designations in the nicknames field. Since the last update these no longer work to find a recipient in the "to" field of the outgoing email. I use it a lot! Please help!

To add clarity:

Autocomplete no longer finds the nickname field.

re: I use three character designations in the nicknames field.

What exactly are the three characters? Give an example of a nickname, so that I can try to reproduce it.

This happens to me. Nickname for me is 'kri' . If I type kri in the To: field, the autocomplete selects Kris from my addressbook. I can only use exact names for autocomplete to put my name in there: karl I think the order search got switched. Please correct.
