[horde] Horde , LDAP, finally managed to make up my mind :-)

[Spyros Tsiolis]

Hello,

I would like to thank Craig for his good help.
He wrote an excellent e-mail delivered to my personal address.
I don't know if this helps, but if it does, I can forward the
e-mail sent to the list.

Anywho, with Craigs' help, I finally decided and made-up my mind
on where to store my contact info for horde.
At some point, I thought MySQL. This is no longer the case.
I will go with LDAP. But first I will have to wade through a couple
of books on LDAP. The internet doesn't have much info as far as
LDAP by example is concerned.

One critical question though  (and I don't know how to say this) :

All this is happening for a specific purpose. To have people
work their Horde account and/or Thunderbird application and/or
their new smartphone play nice with their contacts list.
What exactly will I be able to store on these records ?
E.G. will I be able to store more than two or three e-mail 
addresses ? More than two or three Mobile phones ?
More than two or three landline phones ? Skype phones ?
I think you get my drift.
The reason I am so picky on this is because I would like to hit
the nail on the head and not go back to the drawing board at a
later time and re-design everything from scratch.

All this because the other day my Nokia E90 fell from my hands.
The result was the whole of the front face (phone closed), doesn't
work anymore. I am forced to buy a new one (I decided to purchase a
new e6 Nokia) and this time I am going to store all my contact info
on a MySQL table that I will create. All this made me think how to
start making my life easier, _without_ having to rely to M/S Outlook
everytime I would like to sync my phone. So there it is.

Thank you all,

Regards,

s.
