Matt,

For auto complettion in the To field look at:

Tools --> Options --> Autocompletion --> On This Computer

Thanks for your post.  I reinstalled too and still hadn't figured out how to 
restore Evo until seeing your post.  I guess bits and pieces of it is better 
than nothing.  Maybe one day in the near future it will be easier.

Only one addressbook was restored and it's full of duplicates.

HTH,
