Suggested Plug-in: Gmail Directory
We moved all our email from Exchange to Google, including the GAL. AirMail is unable to lookup/auto-complete names unless they are in my personal address book. I do not want to add thousands of contacts to my address book, then have them become static and out dated. Google only allows Exchange activesync on mobile devices, so I often lookup email address on my phone and then type them into AirMail.

+1 from me...
Mavericks now has good CalDav integration for google apps directory, so you could either use the contacts API to access a directory lookup like mail.app or you could roll your own caldav based on the gmail account details.

This is still such a problem, which makes this app a complete no-go for our company to use for our gmail migration. such a bummer. Why isn't this fixed already?

I really can't believe that this isn't supported yet.

Is this even on the roadmap? I can't use this if I can't autocomplete.

This was working for a while but has stopped working a couple betas back. The inital release required you to revoke access to Airmail and then regrant permissions, but this does not seem to fix it any longer.

We've pulled the plug on using airmail for our mac users institutionally, which is unfortunate as it was the best option available. This was, seriously, the main reason... not auto-completing people from the google directory made it unusable.
Other apps (mac mail) seem to be able to do this just fine, I would have to imagine there's an API you can hook into? I mean... it's ridiculous.
Anyway, we've moved on, so even if it gets fixed now, it won't matter. Too late, Airmail.

I've been told this should be working, but I'm still not seeing communication with Gmail. Back to Mail.app for me.

The performance of it in my company's Google Apps account is spotty at best. If it does resolve it's a long pause, upwards of 3-5 seconds

The Directory Search function when using Gmail (Business G-Suite) seems to be broken with Airmail 3 when running Sierra 10.12.3. Have no past experience, as I am first-time user here.
Just installed and setup accounts. Made sure to have "Directory Search" clicked in the Account options. When composing a new message and typing in a recipients name (first or last) there is nothing happening.
I am not syncing with native Contacts.app right now either as there is a different issue with Internet Accounts on Mac setting up Google accounts.
I can receive and send mail no problem with Air Mail, and auto-complete address/names with local saved to Air Mail contacts. Directory access is non-existent.
is this known issue or am I the lone-wolf here?

I concur. This seems to get broken from time to time. I also have found that the iOS version will only search MY Contacts and not the corporate Google Directory.

App version: Airmail 3 Version 3.5 (452)
Current OS: High Sierra 10.13
I only have auto fill problems when I have a second non g-suit google account setup in the cloud. If I use my office account only, all works perfectly.

Auto-fill isn't working for me at all...

App version: Version 3.5 (452)
Current OS: High Sierra 10.13
Same, not working at all anymore, even with single gmail account active. It's driving me insane, I think I need to go to the clinic. Where am I.

Yes, Google Domain address lookup is not working in High Sierra when in full screen. If you are not fullscreen it work. I was told the info was passed along to developers. This was over a week ago.
Is there an update to this yet?

this should be fixed now

I am using build 456 and Google Directory lookup is not working. I have 5 Google App accounts, but only 1 uses the Google Directory. It only searches My Contacts.

Version 3.6.73 (557), autocomplete from Google Directory contacts is not working (18 frequent of 500+ directory contacts are synced)

Ditto, this is not working in the current version. Makes it difficult to use Airmail, I am constantly switching back to Gmail and may need to forgo using Airmail at all.

Finally, after a handful of searches over a number of weeks about this issue with Airmail I am glad to have found a thread with others that are also experiencing the same problem. It was previously working and now broken, and I had gone through all the various settings to confirm and or enable/disable without success.
