Interesting. I'm considering running a local imap server (to speed up search), but so far bbdb looks fine for contact search. I'll look up some way to get contact autocompletion, I'll take a look at eudc (I found a small page about it in the emacswiki). Thanks for making me aware of it!
- jfb 16y agoI'm a newb with the formatting here, but after installing the eudc-mab library, I do the following: (eval-after-load "message" '(define-key message-mode-map [(tab)] 'eudc-expand-inline)) (eval-after-load "sendmail" '(define-key mail-mode-map [(tab)] 'eudc-expand-inline)) (require 'eudcb-mab nil t) (setq eudc-server "localhost" eudc-protocol 'mab) (eudc-protocol-set 'eudc-inline-query-format '((name) (email)) 'mab) (eudc-protocol-set 'eudc-inline-expansion-format '("%s <%s>" name email) 'mab) EDIT: Oh yeah, you need the 'contacts' utility somewhere. http://gnufoo.org/contacts/ http://gnufoo.org/contacts/
- RBerenguel 16y agoI just tried eudc-bbdb, and it somehow works (oddly enough, it expands one contact but not another... I'll have to look at the configuration options). The eudc-mab solution looks better for my Mac, although I think bbdb can work better in the long run: I use a Macbook at home and a Linux netbook at work: I have my bbdb file in the Dropbox folder, thus I can have a nice cross-system contact file.
- jfb 16y agoYeah, you really want bi-directional syncing with the bbdb, because bbdb does nice autosnarfing and whatnot. That's a bit of a sticky wicket (understatement of the morning). It doesn't help that the bbdb code is largely incomprehensible.
