  <title>Autocompletion of mail recipients</title>

  <p>You can enter the first three letters of names and email addresses in the
  recipients text field and <app>Evolution</app> will present you with a list
  of matches from your address books.</p>

  <p>To enable autocompletion, go to
  <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui><gui>Contacts</gui>
  <gui>Autocompletion</gui></guiseq> and choose the address books from the list
  that <app>Evolution</app> should look in for matches.</p>

  <p>Select <gui>Always show address of the autocompleted contact</gui> to also
  show the email address along with the name. This can be helpful to
  distinguish if a contact has several email addresses.</p>

  <p>Alternately, you can click the <gui>To:</gui>, <gui>Cc:</gui>, or
  <gui>Bcc:</gui> buttons to get a list of the email addresses in your
  contacts. Select addresses and click the arrow buttons to move them into the
  appropriate address columns.</p>
