Differentiating MAIL contacts with ADDRESSBOOK contacts?? Is it possible?

Question

I just mean that it's frustrating not to be able to put in the first few letters of the person I want to email (as I am able to do in Mail on my mac) unless I have the contact fully loaded into the phone which means it appears in my phone contacts when I want to make a call.
I know this goes against the very nature of 'contacts,' but is there a way of simply loading all the email addresses into mail? I doubt it but I'm interested to see how others have dealt with the problem.
Apologies if I haven't explained myself very well; if you need clarification just let me know..

Answer 1

Remember, you can organize your Phone contacts into groups. Perhaps doing that would allow you to choose whether to see all your contacts or just the ones you wish to call...
I divided my contacts into Work, Family, etc... And then also added my "most called" numbers to my Favorites list.
Then it's a simple matter of either picking a group, or clicking Favorites to see just those you want to call at that time.
Perhaps make a group called Email Only - and include in that group all the contacts you have with only email addresses...
