ok... so if i set the realm on two IMAP servers to be identical, then i will
share the same address book?? Even if my IMAP usernames are different? i'm not
sure how this is possible.

if it makes any difference i have set the preferences so that the user does not
have to log into Horde and then into IMP. it just goes straight to IMP.

do you mean "Unless i have done a hack..."? i know that i haven't done a hack,
cos i haven't even installed the addressbook yet.

I'm slightly confused as to what you mean here...

Thanks,
Richard.
