Did you try Thunderbird with Dovecot?
Check the headers of this one ;-)
So you have fetchmail>Dovecot>Thunderbird. And you were able to migrate your addressbook to TB?
No, not that one. (and now I'm using Alpine) Alpine can store its addressbook as a faked folder in the imap server, so that you can use it on another Alpine session or computer. But this is non-standard, I believe. The mbox and maildir formats are more or less standard, but there is none for adressboooks. The standard method would be to create the addressbook in LDAP - but this I don't know how to do, after many years. I have seen recipes for ldap. There is an ldap module in yast, but it is for user login/pass. I have seen recipes for mail addresses in ldap, but they are for storing the adresses and names of the people in the same organization. I have not seen a recipe for simply storing unrelated names and addresses in ldap in a way that is understood by all or most mailers. It should be simple, but understanding ldap is something that elludes me. Must have been written by vi coders. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
