Description

When sharing, if the recipient is part of both system accounts and address books with the same email, autocomplete suggests a duplicate. It would then be nice to be able to limit the proposal to the system account only. This would prevent the user from being able to share by email (possibly with a generated password) when the recipient has a nextcloud account.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing the sharing autocomplete and how system accounts are matched against address-book contacts with the same email. Done means duplicate suggestions are limited to the system account, preventing sharing by email when that recipient has a Nextcloud account.
