On a very early stage I turned off syncing from PM to Apple AB as it messed up my Apple AB. It works so-so the other way around, though. I use Apple AB as my contact center for other applications as well, and would love to access it directly from PM. As is now, it feels like "half a solution", and I never use the Address Book Icon, the "Add to Address Book feature" etc. This slows down my overall contact administration, and I would really like to see a preference option to work directly with Apple AB. I guess it must be possible -- I have a demo of GyazMail, which reads and opens up a window with relevant info from Apple AB in its own GUI, plus the three buttons "To", "Cc" and "Bcc" and a search field. Looks and works very nice. Another window pops up when choosing "Add Sender to Address Book", where I also can select Apple AB Label and Group, plus add text in its note field. It writes directly into Apple AB. An option to have PM working in the same manner is on top on my wish list for major feature additions. Please! Please...!
