Thanks for those informationen Dmitri. To make it clear: I "just" want to sync the contacts a user saved on his local phonebook/adressbook (no gmailcontacts, no facebookcontacts, no twittercontacts) with openXChange. Do I really need a new AccountType then? So a user will have a openXChange-Contacts, beside the phonebook-Contacts?
