Address autocomplete fails in compose, using Mint 22.1 and Thunderbird 128.10

more options

Hello, My TB account is setup properly and I am getting mails from my gmail account. But when I compose mail on my TB account I am not prompted for any address completion while composing the e-mail. On Thunderbird and my web gmail there are many e-mail ids in the inbox.

How do I make TB so that it prompts me with these e-mail ids which are in Inbox when I compose mail?

Any help will be apprecated. Thank you, Deepak

With Thunderbird started in Troubleshoot Mode, please check Error Console (ctrl+shift+J) after startup for errors
