hey phil,
first thanks for your work on an extended addressbook, i believe that it's an important improvement for roundcube!

Here is another update to my extended address book patch. There are a couple of big changes this time:
Addition of 'auto_complete' function in the addressbook class, is called from steps/mail/autocomplete.inc: rather than performing one fixed search in all address books moving the function to the class allows each one to search what ever fields it wants – for example multiple email fields.
The patch has been split into 2 parts, the first adds all the extra features but leaves the UI approximately the same as it is now (2 or 3 columns). The second (should be applied after the first) alters the UI so it looks more like the mailbox screen – 2 horizontal blocks, or 1 vertical and 2 horizontal. Which layout do people prefer?
i think i prefer the original layout without second patch. but maybe that's just me.
but i've two further comments:
first, with your patch applied i always get a error message when browsing the addressbook:
SERVICE CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE! Error No. [501]
this error disappears when i browse an existing contact or select 'add new contact', thus i guess it doesn't affect the functionality of the addressbook, but it's still annoying.
second, it would be really great if you could add contact groups to the extended addressbook. that way it would be much easier to maintain big lists of addresses (useful for newsletters or birthday party invites).
and again, thanks for your work on this feature!
greetings, jonas
