[turba] Horde as private sync server. contact syncing problems :(

[someone]

Hi,

I am trying to setup Horde my sync server to sync my thunderbird and my
android phone with and later open it for my family and friends.

Generally it works pretty well with Horde 5.0.2 - awesome work dudes and
dudettes!

Thunderbird calendar works like a charm: multiple calendars: no problem.
Thunderbird contacts ... well not.
The Thunderbird folks seem to fail on syncing to anything but google...

Is there a way to export/import Turba addressbooks to .vcf (and others),
like kronolith has this "Subscription URL" that exports the selected
calendar to .ics and is bi-directional?

Is there a way to get a .mab bidirectional addressbook url?
(That would be an awesome feature, as not only I am looking to sync
thunderbird address books)

And another question for the android device.
Synchronisation works only with ActiveSync, but with that nearly flawlessly.
Again it syncs the calendars perfectly.

But again it has a problem with contacts:
The birthday wont get synchronised at all.
And it seems that only the first eMail-Address is synchronised and all
others are silently discarded.
Therefore if i rename a contact via webinterface I loose all the email
addresses associated with that contact except the first one.

Actually I cant seem to find multiple eMail-address fields in Turba at all.
I found some Tickets from 2007 where multiple email addresses were
mentioned and wonder what the state that feature is in?

There are tons of imho never used fields (pager, I am looking at you),
even multiple IM-Address fields, but just a single eMailaddress which is
kinda lame.

Is there a way to get multiple email-address fields into turba and
synchronisation without being a php pro?
Or is there hope, you guys will make multiple email address fields?

I mean there is Fax and a Work Fax field, why not simply add Work eMail
and Home eMail, giving 3 eMail fields in total.

Sorry for crossposting, I am not sure where to post this questions to as
they somehow concern both lists.
