I think this is a great app and I'm curious to know if anyone is experiencing this issue, but there seems to be a weird random bug (maybe not) where it captures the same email over and over and thinks it is "new" each time and stores it in your "Other Contacts." I was having issues with Contacts loading SUPER slow on my android so I looked at my Google Contacts in Thunderbird to discover 24,000 "other" contacts. Of which at least 2,500 were from the same exact email. By cleaning out these thousands of the same emails using Gmail's "merge duplicates" I was able to get my contacts running quickly again on all platforms (TB, Android, etc.). Note: Google can only merge duplicates 2500 at a time and for some I had 10,000 of the same email address so keep running it over and over to clean it out. I feel like it's from TB plug-in, and it doesn't happen with all addresses...so it may have been fixed.
