I just installed abook.  How can you folks stand it?  It's so ugly the
way it tries to be graphical.  Each tab has only 4 or 5 fields.  It
has the disadvantages of textual interfaces as well as the
disadvantages of graphical interfaces.  It would have been better just
to put all the fields on a single screen and forget the tabs.

Furthermore, it doesn't support categories; so my friends have to be
listed next to my coworkers and vendors.

Then it also has the problem where if you're hitting backspace to
erase text, the cursor position shifts so that you don't know what
you've deleted.  (mutt also has this problem)

Anyway, (hope no one is offended), what alternatives are there to
abook?  I would most like to find something that's interoperable
between a palm and mutt, which probably doesn't exist.  But what about
something that can import CSV or ABA formatted address books, and
export a mutt alias file?

What do you non-abook users use?  I don't care if it's textual or
graphical.
