How do I convert my addressbook into a remote addressbook?
Go to (M)ain (S)etup (A)ddressbook and in the Personal Addressbook section, add a new one. The Server name should be your remote IMAP server and the path should be something that you can access. After creating your addressbook as above, go to your regular addressbook by going to (M)ain (A)ddressbook. Select all your addressbook entries by pressing (;)Select (A)ll (A)pply (S)ave and save to your remote addressbook. If these commands don’t work, make sure that the enable-aggregate-command-set option is checked in (M)ain (S)etup (C)onfig. Instead of the above two steps, you can also copy your local addressbook to a remote one from the command line (Thanks to Eduardo Chappa for the tip). Just use the command pine -copy_abook .addressbook {mail.example.com}/path/to/addressbook-remote replace .addressbook with your local addressbook’s path and filename, and put your IMAP server name in the braces. You can use any name for the remote addressbook file, and put it in any path that you can acces
