With the new version of Thunderbird, when I type in the first letter of my e-mail address, all the addresses in my address book are displayed in no particular order and I have to search all the address to find the one that I want and wind up having addresses in my 'to' box that I don't send the message to. Trying to get rid of the addresses that I don't want to send the message to usually results in the elimination of other address that I do want to send the message to. With the previous version, when I typed in the first letter of the e-mail address, I got all the addresses that started with that letter and I could pick the one I wanted and add it to my 'to' box. That version was a lot easier to use and less frustrating. Is there a fix to this problem, a different version of Thunderbird to download or something in the settings that would eliminate the problem? Please advise.

The new but not-ready-for-prime-time autocomplete method searches for matches that contain the entered text, not just ones that begin with the string. Your options are:

1) type in longer strings that narrow the search

2) use an add-on to search just the beginnings: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1037469

3) install an older version of TB: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/
