My solution is to only use the last X days of email addresses. This way stale/incorrect email addresses need to be handled manually for a short (for certain values of X) while to make sure I use the correct one, and then the fall out of the DB. I combine the mu-generated address list with my own OS X Contacts database, where I maintain "permanent" addresses that I want to have autocomplete even if I haven't emailed them within the past X days. I do this by 1) using mu to find contacts within the last 90 days and exporting in Org format. mu cfind --format=org-contact --after=`date -v-90d +%s` >> ~/.contacts.org And then 2) some custom code that reads my "permanent" address book and appends it to contacts.org in the correct format. -k. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mu-discuss" group.
