The functionality is exactly what you are talking about, adding a configuration option for "other" would complete your quest. That done, i took the thread back to the "what" and away from the "how", which is better kept in Ayatana-dev. Let's keep it simple and build on what we already have! agreed. > I don't know the technical details about evolution-data-server, but when I > encountered that entry in my session set-up, I firstly though that was > exactly what I was looking for.

I'd love to be proven wrong, since i also want the feature you are suggesting to be implemented soon, it has been discussed here a lot last year, what was somehow missing was a big picture. The big picture is what i put down in my previous mail. This document might or might not help you understand EDS: http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/arch.shtml from what i understand, CAMEL is a part of EDS, which can do what you ask, in that the document is already contradicting itself :P otherwise, ayatana-dev might be a better place for questions about implementation.
