------- Forwarded message ------- Hi Daniel,
please email dev@lists.roundcube.net with your idea. We have a lot of things to focus on right now, so please put that idea on the mailinglist and see how the reception is, etc..
Personally, I'd like to see SyncML support in the addressbook, I am not keen on LDAP. But that's just me personally.
Cheers, Till

Hi however is the Roundcube project admin I just discovered your exiting IMAP client project. I looked over the roadmap too, and found it quite fascinating. The only thing I did not like was that you have no plans to offer any
decent way to synchronise the address book. IMAP is the perfect protocol for accessing emails. I would, however, have preferred a centralised storage
for my address book, and then only access that data trough a client
(Roundcube, for instance). Could you please focus on that? I think LDAP is suitable,
as it is integrated for this purpose on some desktop email clients already. I could sponsor a 100 USD bounty for such a feature if it would help motivate others to assist you on this. (Notably I would have to agree on
the terms of the bounty.) Thanks in advance, and do carry on with the project.
I'd like to second Daniel's desire to have centralized address book storage that RoundCube accesses as a client. We support multiple web and desktop email clients, so our user base would benefit from more address book interoperability. Right now we have RC setup to read our public LDAP directory and use some custom kungfoo to read/write to a Horde/IMP address book. However, in the longer term, we're looking into using a read/write ldap backend that all our supported clients could use.
Best, Ziba

The other day I saw a webmail client that uses an IMAP folder to store the address book. It's no standard of course, but any IMAP client can access it.
Here's a demo of that client:
http://demo.internetconnection.net/netmail/
Which is a smart way of doing it. And if done using the same format as
Sync Kolab does it would even be able to sync with Thunderbird, Horde
etc.
