Disabling Thunderbird email address auto complete


How could I disable this annoying feature?

Half the time it selects the wrong address and sometimes I miss it and send emails to wrong people.

Hello,

The following should do the trick:

Edit -> Preferences -> Composition -> Addressing tab -->> untick the checkbox for local address book.

Hope it works.

Kind regards,

Eric
