MailNews:Address Book Interface Formats
We frequently get requests for additional interface formats for the address book, this page will be used to summarise the interfaces we'd like to see, with what is and isn't suitable, and relevant links.
Please do not put comments like "I want this" or "Please Please implement this" on this page. That is not what this is for. It is for our planning of where address book is going. Remember if we don't support and interface you want/need, you are always welcome to have a go and implement it yourself (see [http://www.mozilla.org/developers/ here).
Existing Interface Formats
LDAP
We currently support LDAP for a read-only interface. dmose has recently added incorporated a lot of functionality to allow us to map attributes easily and which will hopefully ease the transition to a read-write interface.

I believe there is no offical standard for this, however it has been requested see Bug 160523. Some work has been done on an extension for thunderbird - see the link below.
