Which explains why the connection couldn't find the libraries.

This could be caused by the fact that the Connection was compiled into the 
program.

So the short answer is: If the connection is compiled, you'll see the driver 
listed; however, if the external driver isn't found you can't using the 
connection and no error is given.

Thanks for the help... now to see if I can force it to compile so I can play 
with it :)

I think on Mac they disabled MozAB and use AppleAB instead. Which is ok, but we 
should leave both enabled. Mail.app is very limited so it's quite likely that 
someone may use Thunderbird instead. In which case we should allow the users to 
select the preferred address book. (side note: thunderbird also has an option 
to use the AppleAB by default)
