I am in the same situation with Wanderlust, so it seems a general BBDB3 problem. With BBDB2 I was able to do something similar to what you describe in WL. Now BBDB never asks to harvest any address (unless I press :), no matter what settings I try. I asked about it on this list a few months ago, but didn't get anything useful.

Yes, I've followed the instructions, but I'm not sure I understand them all. The lack of documentation is a big hurdle. I've managed to get most of it work. I have autocompletion of addresses when I compose mail. I can display or annotate addresses with : and ;. I can even get BBDB to query the creation of addresses that are not already in the addressbook. What I don't seem to be able to get to work is to automatically update records. Here's the relevant part of the README: "bbdb-mua-auto-update automatically updates the BBDB records for the sender and/or recipients of a message. If bbdb-mua-pop-up is non-nil, the matching records are also displayed in a continuously updated BBDB window," bbdb-mua-pop-up is t, but I don't get a continuously updating BBDB window. bbdb-mua-auto-update-p is bbdb-select-message. What I expect to happen is that when I get an email that is to an address in bbdb-accept-message-alist (i.e., addressed to me) and not in bbdb-ignore-message-alist, then BBDB searches through my database, and if the sender has no record, then it either (1) automatically creates a record for the sender, or (2) queries me for creating one. Either would be fine, but neither seems to happen. I've played around with other values for bbdb-mua-auto-update-p, but they don't seem to make any difference. Here's my setup: (require 'bbdb) (bbdb-initialize 'wl) (bbdb-mua-auto-update-init 'wl) (load "~/.emacs.d/filters") ;; Filters for BBDB: setq for ;; bbdb-accept-message-alist and ;; bbdb-ignore-message-alist (setq bbdb-mua-update-interactive-p '(query . create)) (setq bbdb-file "~/.emacs.d/bbdb" bbdb-mua-pop-up-window-size 3 bbdb-layout 'one-line bbdb-pop-up-window-size 5 bbdb-complete-mail-allow-cycling t) (add-hook 'bbdb-notice-mail-hook 'bbdb-auto-notes) ;; not sure I need this (add-hook 'wl-mail-setup-hook '(lambda () ;; From BBDB (TAB): (substitute-key-definition 'wl-complete-field-body-or-tab 'bbdb-complete-mail wl-draft-mode-map))) I think I need to set bbdb-mua-auto-update-p, but I'm not sure how. PS. I would also like to be able to edit *all* the fields of a record when I press ; (bbdb-mua-edit-field-sender). Is there a command for that? -- Announcing the Oxford Dictionaries API!

BBDB and Wanderlust
Hi, I'm trying to use BBDB with Wanderlust. I installed the latest melpa version (20170129.2224), but couldn't get it to work. I noticed that the README at https://github.com/dmj/bbdbv3 says BBDB must be built with `--with-wl-dir=DIR' specifies the path where Wanderlust can be found. Without this option the resulting BBDB build does not support WL. Could this be the problem? I don't think the melpa version does this. Does the melpa version work with WL? And if it does, are there any specific instructions I could follow?
