Any javascript programmers want to play...

Was doing a bit of reading, and realised that it should be pretty "straight forward" (I put it in "" because like all programming, everything always takes longer than one expects) to create a mozilla extension:

http://www.mozilla.org/docs/tutorials/tinderstatus/

That uses SOAP:

To call the FastMail SOAP API:

To check for new email, open a URL to an arbitrary folder or screen, etc.

Fun project if anyone has time or knows another programmer who might

So this thread is meant for service-suggestions (according to the blog-entry). Isn't very obvious, but here comes mine:

I would like a addressbook upload/download service. This way you can automatically sync your addressbook. If syncml would be supported it would be even better (iSync integration)

Hi Ilja,
(btw, thanks for bringing this thread to my attention.)

Actually - the FastMail Feature Requests forum is the one that's meant for discussion of new feature suggestions.

You might be interested to note this recent post which mentions import/export of LDIF files with regard to the FM addressbook.

(I haven't checked this out myself, but it might be a good point from which to continue discussion of your idea for addressbook features.)

I know, but according to this blog-entry, this thread was meant for suggestion. Found it a bit odd, so probably it's a mistake

Actually my mistake, sorry - I misunderstood your first post - now I see that your suggestion involved using the SOAP service.

Well, thanks again for bringing this thread up again at least!

I second the suggestion that the Fastmail address book be exposed in the SOAP API. This would at least give us the opportunity to write clients that can directly access the Address Book data.

I'd settle for a read-only API at this point.

And if we could access the addres book through SOAP we could then write a LDAP emulator using SOAP as a backend :-)

A SOAP accessible Address Book would also allow an iSync interface to be built...
