[imp] Re: addressbook functionality for IMP webmail interface?

[Eric Pierce]

I tried importing addresses from PINE when we switched to IMP last
october.  I messed around with it for a week or so, but the groups never
came out correctly, so we scrapped the idea of imported addressbooks at
all.  Also, I think the current version of IMP doesn't allow commas in the
email addresses, so it's probably not possible any way.
