Can I have a different address book for each mail account?

I have several email accounts that I use with Thunderbird. When I create a new email and begin typing the address, it autocompletes based on my personal address book. I would like to know if I can have a different personal address book associated w/ each account.

For example, I have an account for work and an acount for personal use. Suppose I have two contacts: "Mark Smith" a friend & "Mark Jones" a colleague. If I type "M" in the adress field of my email I would like for only "Mark Smith" to appear if I am composing that email from my personal account and only "Mark Jones" to appear if I am composing that email from my work account.

I am running Thunderbird 31.3.0 on Ubuntu 14.10.

If you install MoreFunctionsForAddressBook (How to install), then under Tools/Account Settings/accountname/Composition & Addressing, there is an item "Addressbooks for addresses autocomplete" that lets you select the books used for this function.

@sfhowes: That sounds just like what I'm looking for. Thanks.
