the adresses do'nt work easy - I must always go to many steps

Binary package hint: evolution

I changed from thinderbird to evolution and want to have the same comfort in searching adresses out of adressbook.
Why evolution doesn't find adresses automaticly after typing the first part of an adress ?

How I can export and import emails from thunderbird to evolution an reverse ?

Thanks for taking the time to report this. It's not really a bug however, just a question. I can answer part of it:
