I was searching through the list archives when I came across this old thread. I thought I would point out some recent developments in the BBDB world that might be of general interest to Emacs users.
I am the author of a sync tool that can perform bi-directional sync between MS Outlook / Google Contacts / Emacs BBDB. You can set up a sync profile between any folder in one of those with any folder in any of the other two. It's been released to the bbdb-info audience, and it seems to be working quite well (no complaints yet of ASynK eating up peoples contacts.) Give it a shot by visiting the project page at: http://karra-asynk.appspot.com/ Further, BBDB v3 is getting ready to come out of alpha status, as per a recent mail on bbdb-info by the current maintainer Roland Winkler. All in all, there is some action on the BBDB side of the world, and this is a great time for the faithful to return to the fold :) -Karra ------------------ *From*: Darlan Cavalcante Moreira*Subject*:Re: [Orgmode] Re: contact management in org-mode? *Date*:Sun, 25 Oct 2009 10:51:07 -0300*User-agent*:Wanderlust/2.15.6 (Almost Unreal) Emacs/23.1 Mule/6.0 (HANACHIRUSATO) ------------------------------ If there was someway to sync (two-way) bbdb with google contacts all problems would be solved for me, since I can sync my phone with google contacts and Evolution can read/write from/to google contacts (although nowadays I use wanderlust in Emacs instead of evolution, which obviously can use bbdb).
