Ouch, sorry to hear that.

This should only happen if the window is not wide enough to display the 
address token. There is little I can do about that, but if this was not 
the problem then I'd like to know more.

Yes, MailMate looks for previous recipients in your Sent Messages 
mailbox and in your Address Book (Contacts).

Yes. Look for `MmAddressCompletionMailbox` 
[here](http://manual.mailmate-app.com/hidden_preferences#sending). You 
would then need to point it at an empty mailbox (I cannot recall if 
providing a non-existing mailbox works).
