--- Comment #1 from Christian Quast <wildcart at tzi.org> ---
By accident I figured why some contacts are proposed for completions while
others are not: I first observed this behaviour after a clean install of KDE
5.x (openSUSE 42.x). I did't not keep / copy any settings from my old KDE
installation. I then set-up Kontact to connect to my owncloud/nextcloud and
mail servers. My contacts were synced to my local computer and I could see them
Kontact / KAddressbook. 

I now realised that only those contacts are suggested for completion in KMail
that I have modified locally in Kontact / KAddressbook, others are not. The
steps to reproduce this should be as follows:

No suggestion:
* remove all akonadi / Kontact related settings, caches,
* configure kontact to sync contacts from an owncloud/nextcloud server (maybe
others?),
* set-up an E-Mail account,
* wait for remote contacts to be synced,
* write a new E-Mail to a contact in the address book,
* and wait for suggestions -> no suggestions should be found.

Working suggestion:
* in addition to the above, modify any of the contacts locally, e.g. add a
random E-Mail address, 
* click 'OK' to save changes,
* write a new E-Mail to a contact in the address book,
* and wait for suggestions -> a suggestion should be found.

Best
  Christian.
