Hello,

I am running TB 31.4.0 on Ubuntu 14.04-64bit. In "Edit->Preferences->Composition->Addressing", the option "When addressing messages, look for matching entries in: Local Address Books" is default. But how can I select one local address book specifically (instead of autocompleting from all local adress books)?

Thanks for any help!

Hello, are you on Ubuntu too? On my side when composing a message the Tools menu items are: -Mail & Newsgroups -Address Book

Clicking on Address Book just opens the Address Book...

Gnospen may have the MoreFunctionsForAddressBook add-on that provides this feature.

Thanks it does work with MoreFunctionsForAddressBook add-on. TB Should integrate these functions as standard!
