Free addressbook software for linux

PHP iAddressBook is an address book for a single user that aims at 100% compatibility with the AddressBook application in Mac OS X.
PHP iAddressbook provides a very intuitive interface and a powerful search function similar to that found in Apples AddressBook. You can import and export your contacts using the vCard format.
The Import/Export functions work completely transparent meaning that all data entered in the addressbook is exported to the vCard and can be imported again.
Main features:
- contact fields (99.8%) identical to AddressBook.app in Mac OS X (click here for details)
- add/edit/view contacts
- search/filter contacts
- template support
- multilanguage support
- transparent vCard import/export
- supports photos in contacts
- uses ADOdb Database Abstraction Library to access MySQL, PostgreSQL and others
Enhancements:
- This release adds Skype support, advanced access controls, an alphabet to quickly filter contacts that begin with the same letter, custom labels for phone numbers, email messages, URLs, related names, and instant messaging handles, an option to change the image format in vCard exports, and support for phonetic firstname/lastname (for Japanese users).
- It improves importation of non-RFC-compliant vCards.
- The contact list can now be divided into several subpages.
- The search function now supports multiple keywords.

use Mail::Addressbook::Convert::Pine;
use Mail::Addressbook::Convert::Eudora;
my $Pine = new Mail::Addressbook::Convert::Pine();
my $Eudora = new Mail::Addressbook::Convert::Eudora();
my $PineInFile ="pineSample.txt"; # name of the file containing the Pine data
my $raIntermediate = $Pine->scan($PineInFile);
my $raEudora = $Eudora->output($raIntermediate); # reference to an array containing a Eudora addressbook

Mail::Addressbook::Convert::Eudora is a Perl module that can convert to and from Eudora addressbooks.

SYNOPSIS

use strict;
use Eudora;
my $Eudora = new Eudora();
my $EudoraInFile ="eudoraSample.txt"; # name of the file containing the Eudora data
# Convert Eudora to Standard Intermediate format
# see documentation for details on format.
my $raIntermediate = $Eudora->scan($EudoraInFile);
# This will also work
#my @EudoraInArray = @arrayContainingTheEudoraData;
#my $raIntermediate = $Eudora->scan(@EudoraInArray);
# Convert back to Eudora

KAddressBook to iPod Synchronisation lets you synchronise your KAddressBook to your iPod by executing this simple script.

The script makes a few modifications to the addressbook file to make it readable by the iPod.

Amarok recently released the ability to synchonise music to your iPod, so I was finally able to stop using iTunes to transfer my songs. However I was still stuck using the Mac to sync my addressbook.

Well not anymore, after some quick poking around, and a simple script, I am now able to transfer my complete KDE addressbook (including photo), with a simple command line.

Just mount the ipod, and execute the script, passing the ipod’s root directory as a parameter. That’s it! The script loads your KDE addressbook, makes a few simple modifications the iPod requires, and copies it across.

KSMS-Tool is a tool for sending SMS via your mobile phone. In principle, every modern mobile phone should be supported; these have been explicitely tested so far:
- Siemens S55
- Sony-Ericsson K700i
The connection to the mobile phone is established via the serial interface. In principle, every serial emulation (e.g. via USB, IrDA, Bluetooth) should also work if an error-free connection is guaranteed (especially in the wireless cases IrDA resp. Bluetooth).
Details on choosing a non-default connection to the mobile phone or on how to populate the user-defined addressbook can be found on the KSMS-Tool homepage.

Imsptool is a command line tool to communicate with an IMSP server. It allows you to create, delete, import, and export address books.
imsptool imports and exports using the LDIF format. Netscape Messenger and LDAP directory servers such as OpenLDAP use this file format directly.
IMSP is an internet protocol designed to complement IMAP. It stores additional mail user agent configuration information, including address books. IMSP is supported by very few mailers (Simeon by Esys Corp. and Mulberry are two I know of) and is considered obsolete. The ACAP protocol was designed to replace IMSP, but caught on yet.
X.500/LDAP is becoming the standard way to store large e-mail directories.
imsptool was developed to provide an easy way to use IMSP address books in Netscape Messenger. Additionally, it can be used to migrate IMSP address books to LDAP directories.
imsptool has been compiled and tested on Linux 2.2 and Solaris 2.7. It has been tested and works with the Cyrus IMSP server version 1.5a6.
Enhancements:
- imsptool.c: fixed buggy read_literal again, implemented mailing lists on import addressbook, implemented rename command
