Hi,

You would have to alter all SQL queries to the 'contacts' table within the PHP code. I think it would be better to build a function or a class to read and write contact data in an abstract way. It's hard to give you an advice because somebody is working on a plugin-API which could be used to achieve this and there are also people working on a LDAP implementation which also concerns the address book. We have to wait until these two parts are implemented.

I wonder what kind of synchronization script you have to sync the MySQL database with the Apple address book. Sooner or later RoundCube will need to provide sync functionality as well...

Regards, Thomas

how difficult would it be to use a alternate address book conatined in a mysql database on the same server as round cube (and one that I can sync with my apple address book).
