I start to address a new mail. When I write the firs character, the system
complets it automatically with the suffix "@mailbox.hu". This is not needed and
is also a source of errors, because in most of the cases the recipients have
different addresses. The autocompletion makes me think, that a valid address was
found. Please create the possibility to tisable this function.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compose a nem mail, write the name "joe" into the "To" address bar.

Actual Results:  
2. The system complets the name to "joe@mailbox.hu" (completion depends on the
mail address, I guess)
3. I send the mail to the adress "joe@mailbox.hu" although this is a non
existent address, and it is not in my address book either. 


Expected Results:  
2. The system only comletes the names, where an adress book entry was found. In
this case, no completion takes place.

This is very annoying, please fix it.
