That is one of my issues. I just got a new G1 and am having to merge my contact data from BBDB, mutt aliases, lbdb's incoming mail DB, my previous cell phone, and outlook to push up to Google Mail so I can sync it with my G1. Every other file is easy to work with except BBDB. I'm close to just managing contacts in CSV and leaving it there. I would consider using Google as a master copy of my contacts only if I can automate the download of a CSV from Google. I'm not always online and can't operate without a local copy. That doesn't look too good at this point, because the Google API only documents RSS/Atom/JSON, not the CSV that gmail uses. Abook is still in the lead due to its consistent import/export support, however because it isn't flexible I may just do a CSV file and grep it for Mutt. > > At Sun, 25 Oct 2009 02:04:18 -0400, > Charles Philip Chan <cpc...@sympatico.ca> wrote: > > > > Russell Adams <rlad...@adamsinfoserv.com> writes: > > > > > I'm migrating out of it as fast as I can.

I've thrown them all in a spreadsheet for now. I've also noted that vCard doesn't support grouping via keywords in the standard. That's a problem in Abook's static field assignment, but I can use a colon separated custom field if I must.
