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.

I haven't added anything to MailMate which explicitly triggers 
synchronization (and I don't know if it is possible at all).

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 :)
