[Dovecot] IMAP Address book ?
Hello
Does anyone knows if it is possible to manage a personnal address book with Dovecot and IMAP ?
I mean would it be possible to store it in the IMAP user's space and not in the MUA address book in order to always retrieve it even changing on machine / MUA ?
Thanks

I don't think IMAP was meant for that, but would be reallly nice. Have you looked for a LDAP based address book?

I understood. Some time ago I searched for personal address book on LDAP, but could not find anything ready for production use. It is possible anyway, setting proper ACL on a DIT to allow write access to LDAP by a user.

If you use Thunderbird, you might try SyncKolab:
