BTW: imap is great for saving mail, but what about an addressbook? is ldap convinient enough?

LDAP is a pain to set up, so I don't consider it convenient.

I think there's a way to store addressbook info in IMAP, but I haven't figure it out yet.

Addressbook

Like you, I haven't got around to setting up LDAP because it seems too
much of a pain. Most people around here use kaddressbook with fish:// to
give easy remote access from anywhere. It seems to work pretty well.

fish:// addressbook

When I use fish:// or sftp:// with kaddressbook (KDE 3.1), it lets me do
it but warns about multiple simultaneous access to remote addressbook
files being bad. I haven't had a chance to check whether that's changed
in KDE 3.2.
