Outlook (or O.Express), Netscape and Eudora certainly don't allow you to
add/edit addrbook entries.

I can't see you ever being able to edit entries from all of these at the
same time since they have different ideas on what attributes are
required/supported.

Convention seems to be to provide a web front-end. You might like to try
mine at www.archonet.com/addrbook/ or the more sophisticated rolodap on
freshmeat
