After reading this I thought of a couple useful smart mailboxes I could 
make based on my Contacts.app groups (thanks for the idea Jim!), so I 
wanted to see if it would work for me.

It was working fine initially, then all of a sudden I encountered what 
you're both reporting: no contact groups were showing up in the list 
anymore!

I quit and restarted MailMate and it started working again, so this 
feels like some kind of intermittent issue.

This is on build 6265.  I did not get offered any newer version when I 
option-clicked on the "Check Now" button.  That to me is what Benny 
considers a test release.  If you're rooting around where Benny uploads 
all his builds, then I think you're going beyond test releases and into 
the realm of being an alpha tester. ;-)
