User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100513 Firefox/3.6.4 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100524 Lanikai/3.1.1pre I just noticed that the OSX Address Book importer is ignoring the "Other" email address. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create contact in OSX Address book 2.Add an email address as "other" and Save 3.Go to Address book in TB 4.Find the contact 5.Notice there is no email address 6.Create a new message 7.Start typing the name of the new contact 8.Notice that the name doesn't get auto-completed. There is of course a workaround - the challenge is that its not obvious i.e. people think they've entered something in the Address Book and its not showing up, took me a while to figure out why. Its also important if you use presence in the Address Book as part of spam filtering, so for example I might put the regular email address of a contact in the "Work" and info@xxx.yyy in Other so that its spam filtered. This is similar to Bug 118665 (requesting multiple email addresses per card), but since that bug has been around since 2002 I guess its not going to get fixed. Its NOT the same bug because this case applies even when there is only one address in the OSX address book entry.
This looks close enough to be the same as bug 461644.

Actually its an incorrect description - my mistake - the problem was an entry with an email address in the phone section (you can't tell an email address from a phone number in OSX if there is only one or the other).
