Address Book

These are some ideas for the future of address book that have been discussed on IRC. They are not offical, and we might not get to some of them for a while, but they are under consideration.

  • MailNews:Address Book Interface Formats
  • MailNews:Address Book Native Formats
  • Remove nsFileSpec from Address Book - almost complete (see bug 132180). This is really a tidy up to the backend so that we're not using obsolete code.
  • Address Book autocomplete transfer to toolkit (WIP)
  • VCard - we need to either rewrite this or find a decent library.
  • Drag and Drop fixes (bug 35837 & others)
  • Relayout the new/edit card dialogs
    • This would be to solve our current screen size issue
    • but would also be in preparation for the addition of more fields
    • MailNews: Address Book Card Fields - what fields do we want?
  • LDAP
    • Writeable LDAP address books
    • Virtual List Views - this would potentially speed up the viewing of LDAP cards in address book.
