I'd like to start synchronizing my MH aliases with the contacts in my
phone and Google contacts.
Has anyone given any thought to this?
Looks like Google has a CSV format that can import/export, so
some little scripting can be done to map MH aliases into Google
contacts and vice-versa.
To determine what the CSV format is, just do an export of
your Google contacts to it to figure it out.
That shouldn't be too hard and would be a good start. Thanks.
However, my real need is to go in the other direction. In MH-E, you can
run `M-x mh-alias-grab-from-field to add an alias for the current sender
to your aliases file. So I have a lot of aliases that need to be added
to existing contacts or have new contacts created for them.
Looks like there is an HTTP/XML protocol defined:
http://code.google.com/apis/contacts/
Cool, they also have a Java API defined:
http://code.google.com/apis/contacts/docs/3.0/developers_guide_java.html
Please let me know if you're further along than I am so I don't rebuild
this wheel :-).
