Mail not seeing Contacts

TidBITS Talk

I have a large group in Contacts (~400) that I update monthly by deleting the group and importing a new set of vCards from .CSV files using a 3rd party application.
This week I did the monthly process AND installed an Apple Security update. I think the problem arose after the security update

I am running the current version of Mojave on my iMac

Contacts shows all the replacement vCards

However if I enter a name of one of the vCards in an Apple mail message the Mail application does NOT see ANY of the vCards as an option to complete an address field.

Any suggestions? I am planning to delete the vCard group and re-import as first attempt

Problem solved

Quite by accident I discovered that the “imported” vCards had mislabeled the email address as a different vCard field. Thus Mail saw no email address for the imports and couldn’t offer them up for message use

It turned out that the Map file matching Excel fields to vCard fields had lost the correlation

Corrected the mapping and all is well
