Thunderbird version 38.5.1 When adding an address to an email in To/Cc/Bcc fields typing the first 3 letters used to bring up an autocomplete list from all address books including sub groups. Suddenly it seems to be limited to just Collected Addresses excluding sub groups of Collected Addresses. Could find no properties to turn autocomplete back on and Google didn't give any solutions.

Edit,Preferences,Composition,Addressing - under banner: Address Autocompletion only Local addresses is ticked.

I don't know.

But please try the following.

Open the address book. Does it default to the Collected address book? Change it to all address book and close the address book. try auto complete.
