I didn't quite get the last part. Do you mean if the contact has 
multiple email addresses then it should still be grouped in one mailbox 
per Contact?


In Mail.app, I have a few Smart Mailboxes set up that I use to triage 
my email. If I only have a moment, I check my VIP Inbox. If I have a 
little more time, I look at what's in my Contacts Inbox. (The Contacts 
Inbox is keyed to a Smart Group in Contacts whose only criterion is 
that the email address contains an @ symbol. MailMate could remove 
this step.) Then, I look for important domains like my work domain. 
Finally, I check a last bucket that has everything else. This last 
bucket gets processed a couple times per week only but my others get 
processed at least once per day.


I know there have been other requests for Contacts and Groups related 
things, but to me, this is one of the simple ways that MailMate is 
still slightly deficient for how I triage my email and being able to 
set Contacts presence as a Condition for a mailbox would be fantastic.


When (hopefully) I get around to adding better integration with Contacts 
then I'll keep the above in mind. I'll also note to contact you for 
testing that the integration works for you.
