Thanks for clarifying that, Cyrus. What about LDAP--is there any reason that
LDAP cannot be used for address-book synchronization?
The only other address synchronization client I'm aware of is Windows
Address Book (wab.exe) which can sync with the HotMail address book. However
I'm not aware of a published standard that this uses--it's probably
proprietary.
If there are no real options for standards that support address book sync I
guess we'll have to write our own for our webmail site :-(
