Nope, I'm not getting that. How does it autocomplete? I have tried
typing a few characters of the Contact List name and pressing Return
and Tab neither works.

Pressing "To:" results in a pop-up showing a smaller view of the Horde
window with the IMP tab selected. There is a search dialog but it
appears to be configured to search email messages not addresses.

I am not able to select a Contact List nor individual recipients.

If I look at the IMP preferences one section shows my addressbooks and
I can choose the sort order etc. Under the section headed:
"Choose the order of address books to search when expanding addresses."
I have selected the desired addressbooks and sorted them. Under the
section:
"Select all fields to search when expanding addresses.
To select multiple fields, hold down the Control (PC) or Command (Mac)
while clicking."
I have selected both the fields shown for each addresssbook, namely
"name" and "email" and then pressed save.

Regards,
Iain.
