+<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 Evolution 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 Evolution 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>
