Thanks very much.
Your comments as always have been most helpful.
I read through the bug report,
and even tried one of the suggested workarounds,
going to System Settings=>Personal Information
and Modify-ing Personal Contacts.
Unfortunately the suggested Nepomuk addition was greyed out.
(In any case it would be taking me a bit out of my depth.)
The long history of the bug report that you remark on
is a little depressing, especially as it is not clear
if anyone is actually looking into the problem or problems.
Actually, your suggestion to click on the Select button in the To: window
when sending email has enabled me to use my contacts quite successfully.
The lack of auto-completion is only a mildly annoying feature.
I had this autocompletion problem as well and afaik I had to type a
complete word to get a hit. So in your case a simple "tim" will not lead
to any result but "timothy" would. I have no clue if this is still the
case (currently I use thunderbird because of the sogo integration).
