[MlMt] Multiple email addresses per user in OS X Contacts and Mailmate

Hi,

I manage a small kids rugby team in the UK. We have around 50 parents 
which give their contact details, most of them have multiple email 
addresses, e.g. a work one and a home one. We want to send emails to 
both their emails addresses with information about upcoming games. 
However Contacts/Mailmate on OS X El Capitan only allows a single email 
address to be associated with a user in a group contact. We have 
experimented with various options and come to the conclusion its not 
actually a MailMate problem but somebody in Apple deciding that users 
are only allowed a single primary address, regardless of how many 
working email addresses they have. Shades of 640KB will always be enough 
:)

Anyway, is there a solution in Mailmate that we’re not aware of, or 
would anybody have any recommendations for a Contacts program that works 
with MailMate AND allows us to have multiple contacts per user.

We know we can create multiple card entries in Contacts to get around 
the problem, but thats a dirty, tacky solution. We want to have a single 
entry with multiple emails addresses.

We can’t believe we are the only people who have this issue.

Any suggestions please?

Rob
