Scott, did you try apt-cache search pim
Why not export all of your contacts to a csv and import them into Google Contacts or what ever you wish and go from there? There are tons of online ldap servers like, plaxo that allow you to store contacts from various sites and access them through extensions(free), T-bird has an extension. It depends on what webmail client you are using in regards to ldap compatibility and modules available. I used to rely on Thunderbird also and it's gotten way too clunky for me. I use mutt which reads my contacts from my ldap server and I can access them in any client that is ldap compatible You might want to install to create a plaxo account, install the t-bird extension, sync away and get rid of T-bird. FYI: I don't have a plaxo account because I manage my own ldap server but plaxo.com is generally always up Bryan On Wed, Jan 26, 2011 at 4:50 PM, Scott Vargovich <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi there, > > I used to use Thunderbird as my email client, but I've moved over to just > using the web client because I frequently use some of the stuff in Google > Labs.
