Description
Steps to reproduce
- Create a new message
- Start typing email address or username of a person that sent you an email or you have frequently corresponded with that is not in a contact list in Nextcloud.
- No result or option will show for anyone not in a Contact list or local LDAP domain.
Expected behavior
I would expect the index to account for email addresses that are collected just in the inbox as options along side the Nextcloud Contacts.
Actual behavior
Only Nextcloud contacts are available unless you know the recipients full email address and type it completely.

Research direction
Start at the new-message recipient lookup and the index described in the issue, then trace how Nextcloud Contacts and local LDAP results are added. Done means addresses found in the inbox or frequent correspondence appear alongside contacts during recipient entry, while the existing full-address behavior still works.
