mutt and your gmail contacts
I was looking for contact sync alternatives for my BlackBerry and came across an announcement that Google Sync for the BlackBerry now includes two-way contact sync. I decided that was good enough reason to start using my GMail contacts, something I never did before since I don’t use the GMail web UI very often.
Other than the BlackBerry I use mutt as a mail user agent. I have a few scripts already written to hook mutt into GMail’s outgoing mail server and Google Calendar so I figured if I was going to use my GMail contacts on the BlackBerry I should shim it into mutt’s contacts as well. In my CVS Web is a small Python script that I wrote to do just that.
If anyone finds any of this useful I’d love to hear about it. Ditto for feature requests, bug reports, or patches.
