Hi,
I'm playing around with abook in order to finally find permanent, robust solution for all my contacts spread over a home desktop, work desktop, laptop, palm and a cell phone. You can image what a pain it is to keep everything in sync!
My newest thought is to create a ~/.abook/addressbook on a server and serve the file over ssh or something.
Anyhow, what I would really like to do is to convert some of my existing maildir folders into abook contacts. I can do a tag-all, ctrl-A, but then I'll add the same contact multiple times and I have to press 'Y' an awful lots of times.
Any ideas? Maybe scan my folders and convert the mails into an alias file and import the alias file into abook? Would that be possible?
Any other thoughts on how you keep all your devices in sync would be great.
(Goosync.com does the job calendar-wise)

Okay. Here's an update.
I moved from abook to lbdb. At first I discarded lbdb because it didn't handle unicode characters well, but if I pipe the result into iconv:
set query_command = "lbdbq '%s' | iconv -s -c -f UTF-8 2>/dev/null it works! I found in a .muttrc somewhere, can't remember where.
Second I found this wonderful bash script:
http://www.ruwenzori.net/code/lbdb-fetchalladdresses-firsttime/that reads email addresses from maildir folders and add a individual entry to ~/.lbdb/m_inmail.list
So that solves that problem. Still have to find a neat why to sync these data with some sort of master file (maybe ldap) so all my other units can get synced.
