After Google changed the paradigm of mail address auto-completion by auto-completing mail addresses from all your mails, the concept of an address book became obsolete. It is a pity that Evolution still clings to this deprecated concept. The Automatic Contacts feature is at most a half-step towards Google-style auto-completion, however it's better than nothing. It is strange that this basic functionality is not embedded in the core of Evolution, but it is rather a plugin. When this plugin went missing, Evolution mail address auto-completion became useless.

For some reason this plugin is not shipped anymore even though the build log shows it being compiled. Why is it not included?
