Address Book currently uses the MailNews mork format (*.mab). This has its limitations and we are considering rewriting the storage system for local address books to an improved format.
Here are some possibilities (from what I've seen in bugs and discussions on IRC):
- sqlite
- vcard based
- xml based
- Vote for xml based format. It is simply to wait and easily expandable (also with a simple text editor). --Griffin 00:17, 8 Oct 2005 (GMT+01:00)
