Another request for addressbook software


I apologize for having to ask this question. It may be listed somewhere on this site already but my search returned what seemed to be over a billion hits

I am looking for an addressbook program that syncs with a calendar program; allows for multiple phone numbers and e-mails for each entry; will store a picture for each entry; home, work and another address for each entry; bdays, anniversaries for each (can sync with the calendar program), spouses and kids names, etc.

It also must be able to synch with my pocket pc, in outlook...and, of course, sync with an e-mail program that has extensive filtering capabilities.

Including a photo in each record is one of the biggest challenges I have found. I don't want to include a link in each record that you have to click to see the picture...I want the picture to automatically come up with the record. If I did not have to sync with Outlook I would probably set this up in a database program.

Anything out there like this?

The only two packages that come to mind are Evolution (Gnome) and Kmail (KDE). Kmail is part of a suite of programs which includes a PIM and a PDA sync tool. The suite has good capabilities, but I don't use it so cannot really comment on any particulars. The time I did tried it, it was nice. Evolution is nice also, but the PDA sync capabilities are broken and flat out suck. I don't know of any other suites other than these. I use seperate programs to perform these different functions, and don't require the capabilities you do, so am not able to offer any other advice. Hope this helps.
