Re: XCmail: Share addressbooks between different systems (draft to discuss)

[David Pilgram]

I had thought about emailing a common addressbook as well; I had not
suggested it as I thought it would require the user to remember to do so;
but perhaps for multiple sites, it could be automatic on each new entry. 
A little heavy on email traffic for dial-up modems, but probably nothing
too extravigant.

However, a "private" addressbook, or, in the context of being at work, the
Work addressbook, one that remains just with with that user, no need to be
moved about *as well as* a common one would be a help.  XCmail already has
two, it's just a case of redefining precisely what one of them is - or
adding a third.

I would like to share my "common" addressbook with another machine, as
well as multiple users on this box (or rather, I can see the use of it). 


But multiple users on one box better have the "first user has rw
permissions; second user (while first has access) only as r access"; or
somesuch.  My linked version lost one address because of the order that 
two copies of XCmail were opened and closed.  On the other hand, I'm
probably using this linux box in an unusual manner.
