<p dir="auto">I use Google's contact service and the Contacts Mac OS app is connected to my gmail account. I discovered that after editing and adding contacts using <a href="https://www.busymac.com/busycontacts/" style="color:#777">BusyContacts</a> (which I use as my main contacts manager) that I had to open the Mac OS Contacts app for the edits and additions to be synced and made available in MailMate.</p>

<p dir="auto">Hmm, I don't know exactly when MacOS synchronizes contacts. I'm pretty sure that this does work if using iCloud Contacts, but I might be wrong.</p>

<p dir="auto">Or can I add the CardDAV source to MailMate directly using some hidden option? Or perhaps even specify a shell command to use for address completion (since I already set this up for my experiments with command line mail agents)?</p>

<p dir="auto">That last one is not currently possible, but I've considered adding it. The GUI (Composer preferences pane) already has a list of auto-completion sources and I considered adding some kind of script-based alternative. It's not a high priority though :)</p>
