User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2 Build Identifier: version 1.0.2 (20050317) Currently it appears Thunderbird, when performing an autocomplete address lookup, searches through your local address books in the order in which they are displayed in the address book manager. The first problem is that the user can't change the display order from the UI, but that is addressed in bug #158062, bug #275485, and bug #272940. The second problem is that the user may wish the lookup order to be different from the display order. This is what this bug report intends to address. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. On a fresh install, with just a "Personal Address Book" (pab) and "Collected Addresses" (history)... a. select "Personal Address Book" and create a new card: nickname: user email: pab@example.com b. select "Collected Addresses" and create a new card: nickname: user email: history@example.com 2. In the main window click on "Write" 3. In the "To:" field enter "user" Actual Results: The address "pab@example.com" is the first listed autocomplete choice. Expected Results: As expected, but there is no way through the configuration UI to alter the order of the returned results. Because the look-up order is currently tied to the display order, you can work around this problem by manually reordering your address books. See bug #275485 Comment #2. I have not experimented with non-local address books.
