How can I associate a address book to a specific account to instead of 1 global address book that both accounts share. I want to limit the auto-complete search.

I have 2 accounts setup within thunderbird but the autocomplete for the TO name seems to be global for all accounts defined. Is there a way to associate a specific address book for an account to restrict the names it tries to show. I did not see anything within the addons search but did see something called morefunctionsforaddressbook , however the browser flagged the site as unsafe so I did not go there.

Get the add-on from this page:

Define the address books for autocomplete under Tools/Account Settings/accountname/Composition & Addressing.
