Re: Need a multi-client schema

Um, yes. I meant would it be possible without recompiling anything. Evolution, for example, can import a CSV file of Outlook contacts perfectly, so the mapping is stored somewhere. If it's in an external file, and the evolutionperson.schema is also read from an external file, it might be possible to persuade Evolution to use Outlook fields by default. If the schema is hard-coded, then yes it would need source hacking and recompiling, which is not worth the trouble.

That's very helpful.
