Now that I'm back into the laptop I've checked. I saved your address, but when I started to type Jan it didn't show up. However, when I used the Select button I could choose the correct addressbook, see your address and add it. I then cancelled the test message. Trying a new message again the autocompletion did work - possibly because it had been put into the recent addresses list? I don't know. On the other hand, it may be like trying to locate a package that you've only just installed - if the database hasn't had time to update it doesn't work, yet a little while later it will. Hope that gives you some clues as to what may be happening, even if it is largely guesswork.
