Abook can export mutt's format, so you can use something like this in
your .muttrc:

  source "abook --convert abook .abook.addressbook mutt -|"

So mutt can know about the nicknames stored in abook. But I don't know
how to create a new entry, complete with nickname, from within mutt.

  macro pager a |'/usr/local/bin/abook --add-email'\n
  macro index a |'/usr/local/bin/abook --add-email'\n

only asks for confirmation, but not for a nickname.
