This *is* already a configuration option, because admins can set 
default values for this preference.

Hm, I think it would be a good idea to make this configurable (on a 
per config/installation basis, not as a user setting): On the one hand 
some people might experience performance issues (we do not - at least 
so far), on the other hand I think this is the behaviour the user 
would expect ("if I add someone's free/busy info to the address book, 
it should be used when looking for free/busy informtion").



If you are interrested, I could change the patch and make it a config option.

We have previously rejected functionality like this because it can be 
pretty performance-intensive to search every available address book.

This is a feature enhancement patch for what I originally thought was 
a bug (see bug 6429) ...



If no address book search sources are set in the preferences 
(search_sources), use all available address books for searching the 
addresses and for looking up free/busy.



If you think this patch is ok, it might also be interresting for imp 
(did not have a look at the imp code, but I know I had to configure 
the address books there, too).
