At the moment, Geary only harvests contacts from the messages it sees 
in your accounts.

The list if contacts is saved in the ContactTable in 
~/.local/share/<account>/geary.db.  If you feel like writing some SQL, 
you could merge in additional contacts.  But doing so is completely 
unsupported -- if it breaks, you get to keep both halves.

The plan is to use libfolks to get contacts from your favorite address 
book application.  See 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=714160 for details.
