You may consider using mew-use-full-alias.

Quote from mew-info:
If `mew-use-full-alias' is `t', for earned addresses when sending,
completion target is an entire address. Let's call this Address
Completion(2).

An advantage of Address Completion(2)(*Note addr-comp1::) is that Mew
can learn addresses whose user names are the same. One of
disadvantages is that only the first address of personal information
can be used(the other addresses are useless). And for the explicit
expansion, you have to type `M-C-e', a different key from `TAB'.
