Support for Palm Address Books

Mahogany does currently support reading of Palm Addressbooks (referring to a ``Palm'' we mean the handheld organizer Palm Pilot running PalmOS). For being able to do that it is required to include the PalmOS-Module (see below). The support of Palm Addressbooks is not yet fully implemented, as so far it is only possible to download the addresses from the Palm and to display them. Changing and uploading changed/new addresses to the Palm is something we plan to add in the next release.

To display the Palm addressbook, create a new addressbook of type ``PalmOS''. You will be asked to put your Palm into the cradle and to push the HotSync-button. After the download the addressbook is accessible in read-only mode. Restarting Mahogany requires to download the addressbook again.
