- It is possible for X.500 to store a personal address book within the
- person's information. What you'd do is create an `object class' containing
- the necessary attributes, and add that object class to the `person' object.
-
- It should be more straightforward to put the facility into either IMAP or
- IMSP. It certainly makes fewer assumptions about the customers environment.
-
- The information we keep in our address book is:
-
- full name
- RFC-822 address
- X.400 address
- FAX number
- Voice telephone number
- list of address groups the address is a member of
-
- All are just character strings.
-
- The `address groups' serve both the `personal distribution list' role
- and to help organize the address book in meaningful ways.
