Gmail contact lookup doesn't work for Mac?
I'm using Slingalink on a Mac, with Firefox and OS 10.5. I imported my gmail contacts, but most of the time, when I start to type it gives me the wrong addresses... I want to write to my friend Dan and type 'D'; it gives me the first 4 'D' addresses, but none of them are Dan. What gives? Not a very useful tool if I have to memorize all my friends' email addresses... ??

Inappropriate?Hi Crabfeathers,
I have two ideas as to the problem. The first is that your friend's email address might not have a name associated with it (i.e. in quotes right before it), and his email address doesn't start with dan (e.g. instead it is lastname@website.com). So typing in "Dan" doesn't trigger the address.
The second possibility is that his address will show up if you just keep typing his name. The auto-complete only returns the top 4 results based on how frequently you email each address, so, when you first start using slingalink, its ordering isn't accurate.
If neither of those ideas is the problem, please let me know!
