I have a Company name in my Address Book with an e-mail address assigned to it.

The name is Blast Corporation and I want to enter that into the "TO" field in Mail.

Even though Address Book clearly shows it, it does not appear as a suggested address in Mail.app

How can I fix this?

This is in OS X Lion.

Which field is the name "Blast Corporation" in your address book? Supposedly by default Mail only auto-completes addresses that have been used before through Mail. I'm not sure if that is exactly true though, since I just now setup a contact in my address book which I've never used in mail and it auto-completed the company name. It's possible that you need to check a few settings in Mail.app preferences:

Here's another example of a company in my address book, which auto-completes in Mail.app

  • How did you get the suggestion in Mail.app? By typing sales or ACME? Mail.app doesn't complete addresses for me with company names even with the default "complete addresses" option set

  • @ephsmith, yes I simply started typing 'ACME..' and it auto-completed. Do you have the name in the main title of address book like mine is showing?

  • Yes, but mine is actually in the company name field. The card is marked as a company.

  • @ephsmith, very strange — I did mine like you say and it works just fine (see added screen capture).

  • It is strange. That's why I asked. I only have a few companies that I email and I've had to use nicknames to get completion for a while. I never had to check the "complete addresses" box because it was that way by default. Nevertheless, no completion on company names for iCloud contacts.
