I have basically the same issue : if MM were to use my Sent folder, it
would not remember anything as the folder is essentially empty (only the
address book would be remembered). Does MM remember everything that has
been once in the Sent folder (before being stored in a different
folder), or only the messages which are currently located in the Sent
folder? If I look now in the Address panel, I find 9 addresses, which
seems consistent with the second hypothesis, and makes the system
useless if you don’t keep mails in the Sent folder.
Is there a way that the app could remember every address it sees,
whether received or sent? This is basically the way Thunderbird used to
work (which is not necessarily a good argument, but this was quite
powerful). Do I understand this wrong, or is there a workaround so that
MM uses something else than the Sent folder to collect addresses? Is it
possible for example to create a smart mailboxes that would contain ALL
messages which have been sent, and to instruct MM to use that mailbox to
collect and remember addresses?
Otherwise the solution is to enter every new address by hand in the
Address book, which is awfully cumbersome.

I read again and again that MailMate uses the Sent folder to keep
track of addresses, but I never have any messages in my Sent folder,
and it still seems to do just fine. For example, it automatically used
my mailmate address when I composed this message, although I only use
it for messages to the list, and the address doesn't appear in the To:
line of the message I'm replying to. If I'm missing any sort of
functionality by not using my Sent folder, I can't tell what it is.

In MailMate it works in the opposite way. Every message in your Sent
Messages mailbox represents one or more previous recipients. What you
need is some way to blacklist some of these, but that is currently
only supported implicitly. You simply have to move these messages out
of your Sent Messages mailbox. Alternatively, you can change the
mailbox MailMate uses to find previous recipients. That way you could
actually imitate what Mail.app does. You can find more about this
[here](https://manual.mailmate-app.com/hidden_preferences#sending).
(And yes, it would be nice if MailMate had some default behavior
which made it easier to either do black- or whitelisting of previous
recipients.)
