Quoting Graeme Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
ACAP and IMSP were supposed to provide this kind of functionality. They were never taken up and the protocols are now moribund and no clients support them.
FWIW, horde supports IMSP address books in Turba, a Prefs backend, and an Auth backend. Of course, you'd also need support for it in your other "gui client". As far as I know, Mulberry is the only desktop client that still supports this natively, and has recently been resurrected as an open source project. http://www.mulberrymail.com/
I also wrote a plugin for Outlook a loooong time ago (maybe Office XP?) that integrated IMSP sources into your outlook contact lists, but I'm not sure if it is even compatable with the current version of Outlook.
