Address book configuration

This is to be filled in.

Address book type

You can choose among several address book types.

External address book

The balsa addressbook supports input from programs. Thus, you can use (no importing needed!) for example your pine or mutt addressbook. The mutt mailer (www.mutt.org) uses an identical system to retrieve addresses from programs.

Existing programs

The following programs are compatible with the mutt mail reader and /should/ be with balsa. Submit links to more programs.
