Contacts not appearing for Email action - 10.8.5

I've read through the contact-related topics, and don't think I've seen an issue exactly like mine (apologies if this is redundant). Contacts appear fine in Alfred 2 when searching directly for them, like so:

However, no such luck when using the email action:

This only seems to affect previously existing contacts. I created a new test contact directly from Address Book, and it was immediately available in Alfred. I'm running Alfred 2.1.1 and OSX 10.8.5. (It's worth noting that I've reset the system Contacts access settings and it seems Alfred has the necessary permissions).

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Is this issue occurring for the majority of contacts? Only a few? Do the contacts you have an issue with have an email address associated with them? Alfred won't show them with the email command if they don't have an email address associated to them. 

 

Also, just to make sure, can you double check the settings here and verify that the email keyword is active and that the keyword is still 'email'. Seems simple I know but I just want to make sure we eliminate all possibilities.

Hey David - Thanks for the quick reply. Turns out my issue was even simpler than the settings. I was under the assumption that the contacts being accessed by my mail client existed in OSX's Address Book. Once you mentioned associated email addresses, I started flipping through them and realized that none of them have email addresses. I'm not sure if they've been pulled in from Facebook or what, but that's definitely the problem.

 

Thanks for setting me straight.
