I've installed thunderbird on Windows 7, all the accounts settings are done and works Ok. My accounts are POP3. My address book have many emails address, but when I write a new email and I write the adrress destination thunderbird don't show any coincidence in the text box, thunderbird can't access the saved address. I have to open address book, look for the email address manually, and copy/paste it. Thanks.

In Address Book, do the contacts have the First, Last, Display Name and Email fields filled with the correct items? If you imported contacts from a csv file, the fields might be empty if the import procedure was incomplete. If the contacts are already filled in properly, see if the autocomplete works in safe mode (Help/Restart with add-ons disabled).

The contacts are filled in properly because it happens with the address that thunderbird collected from my answers. So I will try in safe mode. Thanks.

Check the obvious: autocomplete is enabled in Options/Composition/Addressing.
