You're definitely looking for abook. If you plan on using abook
alongside Mutt you may want to add this to your ~/.muttrc:
# Use abook with Mutt
set query_command="abook --mutt-query '%s'"
macro pager A |'abook --add-email'\n
That configures Mutt so that if you type Q at any time you can query
your adress book for names (And Mutt will automatically begin composing
an e-mail when you select the name you're looking for). It also lets you
add e-mails to abook directly from Mutt using A. I personally use it,
and I'd advise you should as well, it's very useful.
