Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. Log in as a user that has access to system address book Accounts (e.g. via LDAP / system address book).
  2. Ensure that the Accounts address book is visible in the Contacts app and contains contacts with email addresses.
  3. Open the Mail app and click New message.
  4. In the To: field, start typing the name or email of a contact that exists only in the Accounts/system contacts (not in Personal).
  5. Observe the autocomplete suggestions.
Expected behavior

Contacts from the system Accounts address book should appear in the autocomplete suggestions when composing an email, just like contacts from the Personal address book.

Actual behavior

Only contacts from the Personal address book appear in the suggestions.
Contacts from the Accounts / system contacts address book are not suggested at all.
