Can it show addresses to autocomplete even if you don't have created contacts for them?

That's what I want to achieve, and what is currently possible with mu (and notmuch, but through an ugly hack).

I like treating contacts like favorites. I don't manage any, and let my email client / web browser handle them based on frequency.

No, BBDB doesn't maintain separate lists of "real contacts" and "seen addresses". On the other hand, contact creation is cheap, and can be totally automated to happen behind the scenes, without your involvement, so the effect can be similar.
