hey phil,

first thanks for your work on an extended addressbook, i believe that
it's an important improvement for roundcube!

i think i prefer the original layout without second patch. but maybe
that's just me.

but i've two further comments:

first, with your patch applied i always get a error message when
browsing the addressbook:

SERVICE CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE!
Error No. [501]

this error disappears when i browse an existing contact or select 'add
new contact', thus i guess it doesn't affect the functionality of the
addressbook, but it's still annoying.

second, it would be really great if you could add contact groups to the
extended addressbook. that way it would be much easier to maintain big
lists of addresses (useful for newsletters or birthday party invites).

and again, thanks for your work on this feature!

greetings,
 jonas
