Perhaps an AJAX type search popup,  but certainly not all.  This 
something like
+30,000 e-mail addresses in the our database,  creating a scrollable 
list seems
far from purposeful.  Even a user with lesser permissions might see >1000
addresses.  But I do agree that the current mail interface is quite 
klunky - we
actually use Horde for e-mail as it has a raft of additional mail related
features including a pop-up address search thingy that works much like you
describe.  Now that POGI is something resembling usable I've embarked on
creating a Turba (Horde's address book component) driver that connects to OGo.
