Hi,

I've been playing around with my N900 now for a few days and i was disappointed that there is no way to save your contacts (except for Exchange) on a remote location.

Yes, i can export my contacts to the vCard format and import vCard, but i want to do this automatically.

After some searching on my phone i found out that the addressbook is save in "/home/user/.osso-abook/db/addressbook.db", which is a Berkeley 4.4 database.

On my desktop and laptop i use Evolution (Linux mail client) which saves my contacts on a WebDAV share, so i am thinking about building my own application for synchronizing my contacts from my WebDAV share to the local Berkeley database.

But before i start i was wondering if anyone knows about a project doing the same thing? I've been searching the web and haven't been able to find anything.

please don't manipulate the database directly, as you might mess up things then. But instead have a look at the libosso-abook API and the documentation in the developer guide.

Cheers Daniel

Ah, thank you! I'll have a look at it. But i'm not that good in C, so that will be a problem..
