XCmail: How to share addressbooks between users

[David Pilgram]

Hello.

Finally done this!

Method:

This must all be done in terminals, do not have XCmail running at all when
you do this.

1.  Back up all addressbooks!

2.  For the main user (user1), give permission 666 to the two addressbooks:

    chmod 666 addressbook
    chmod 666 addressbook_auto

3.  For a subsiduary user, delete the existing addressbooks.

4.  in the subsiduary user, link to the main user:

    ln /home/user1/.XCmail/addressbook addressbook
    ln /home/user1/.XCmail/addressbook_auto addressbook_auto

This appears to work, but I am not responsible for anyone else who tries
this and looses data etc.

Unfortuantely symbolic links do not work.  And one addressbook I want to
do this for is in root, which is on a separate partition (and indeed HD)
to the other accounts that I want to link it to... but this is a start.
