Just because this particular implementation is commercial doesn't mean that an open source version couldn't be done. So, you are wrong - the answer is not 'no', it is 'yes, it *can* be done, but apparently there is no open source/free version at this time'.
I only posted this as a response to your question about using imap to store/retrieve contacts.
And if it matters, I was as surprised as anyone when I read that announcement.
you asked about contacts via imap.
No, I didn't - someone else did. I posted that link in response to your message saying it cannot be done via IMAP.
that is definitly a "no".
Tell it to the Bynari people who have apparently done it using Courier, as this post claimed. The link is broken right now, so apparently you cannot go and read details at the moment.
i am pretty good aware of exchange compatible groupware solutions. but that is beyond imap.
As someone else posted, you can store pretty much anything in IMAP. I have seen other references to implementations that allowed the storing of contacts on an IMAP server.
So, you are wrong - it CAN be done, but no one is saying it is some kind of RFC implemented standard.
