I see there have been some advances in KAddressBook,
eg it can now use my Google contacts.
But I'm wondering if it is possible to keep KAdddressBook contacts
on my server, so that they are available anywhere on my LAN?
Yes, it can (at least the old non akonadi version could). There are
several possibilities:
- Use vCard folder for this
- Use a real groupware server
- Use addressbook in a mail folder (like kolab)
I used all three of them. The address book mail folder is/was limited to
kde pim. The vCard folder can not be accessed by mobile phones so I now
use sogo as a groupware.
Due to problems with kmail2 (deleted many mails) I currently use
thunderbird. But there is a kdepim2 plugin for sogo as well.

At present I am using an OpenLDAP contact list on the server.
KMail can see this, but I don't think I can add contacts
from KAddressBook (or KMail) to the OpenLDAP database.
It's a bit hard to tell, as the KAddressBook online manual
is seriously deficient.
(I suppose one shouldn't complain too much,
as previously it was 1 line long.
But I don't understand how people can go to so much trouble
developing an application, and not document it properly,
or sometimes at all.)
