Currently when you go to compose a message if you have any  
addressbooks defined in Turba horde will attempt to do address  
completion when you start typing in the "to" field.  However, if you  
have a large LDAP or other directory server included in the list it  
will return enormous lists when you match on one or two characters.   
To compound the problem, LDAP will return results based not only on  
the starting character of the address but if that character appears at  
all in the address so typing an 'a' to start an address will return  
everything from alansmith to zumberaya.

I would suggest holding back on any searches for address completion  
until the user has typed in at least 3 characters.
