Überblick
Address book with mutt support
Verlauf
abook is a terminal address-book program centered on simple local contact storage and integration with the mutt mail client. It matters in package-manager culture because it is the kind of small ncurses utility Unix users install to make mail workflows scriptable without adopting a desktop contacts stack.
The project README identifies abook as an addressbook program with mutt support and credits JH, while the manual page credits Jaakko Heinonen as the author. Its ChangeLog shows a long 0.x development line with early 0.1.0 pre-releases, migration through 0.4.x terminal and import/export work, and later 0.6.x releases adding custom fields, vCard improvements, color, mouse support, key remapping, iCalendar output, and XDG-related changes.
abook spread as a packaging-friendly Unix utility: the input metadata lists packages for Homebrew, Alpine, Debian, Fedora, MacPorts, Nix, Ubuntu, and openSUSE. The upstream README also lists successful builds across Linux, Darwin, Solaris, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, GNU/Hurd, AIX, HPUX, Irix, and DEC Alpha-era systems.
The documented mutt workflow sets query_command to run abook --mutt-query and can pipe messages to abook --add-email. The manual also documents conversion between abook, LDIF, mutt aliases, Pine, CSV, Palm CSV, vCard, HTML, text, ELM, Wanderlust, iCalendar, BSD calendar, and custom formats.
For package nerds, abook is notable as a compact ncurses-era tool with optional readline behavior, many text import/export filters, and a stable command-line interface that fits mailcap-style Unix composition. Its continued packaging across many distributions reflects the durability of mutt-adjacent tools.
