webmail is nice, but with addressbook syncing, it's better. For thunderbird user, waiting for 2.0 releases before starting coding is a good idea, in this version, adressBook is a true sqlite db. For mac user, the adressBook api is easy to access with scripting (like pyobjc), and the iSync api seems to be usable. For that, roundcube should expose some distant API. Is there any choice for that, actually? JSON seems easy and simple. With a json distant API, it will be easy to update the distant adress book.
Mail.app can display picture in mail header, like avatar. It's easy to implement such features.

picture and mail adress
I use it with a dirty hack, is it usefull enough to make it cleaner and submit a patch?
Well, I thought about suggesting something like this. KMail, the KDE MUA, and the adressbook KAdressbook, are able to store contacts as vCards in IMAP dirs - maybe it could be useful to implement such a thing in rc. If there's interest in this, I could try to implement it. Greetings, Christian
oh yes, there is interest in this ...

Thunderbird 2.0 uses tags and other new things: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/releases/2.0a1.html
Mail.app 2.0 will manage todo list and notes in IMAP, i guess. http://www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/mail.html
The trouble of adressbook syncing, that's there is no standard to implements. Syncml (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SyncML) looks better for mobile phone than for webmail.
