I think `gmail.com` (and many other email providers) is a good example 
of why this would not always work well.

Some times when automation fails then it's easy to think that if it just 
used a different strategy then all would be well, but often it just 
means that other usage patterns start to fail.

I don't think so. In the cases where MailMate knows “which account you 
are currently in” then I guess there could be a setting which limits 
completions to the emails of the current account. I'll give that some 
thought, but don't expect it any time soon.
