Contacts synchronisation.

I think the MailButler contacts management could be better and more integrated with other tools. For the moment, you have to send a request to export your contacts and then you receive a .csv file on your inbox.
In a perfect world, contacts should be dynamically shared between MailButler and the contact management app of choice. But I understand that this service is probably highly complicated and costly to implement.
But still, IMO, contacts should be stored locally in a readable format and if this is not technically possible, available directly in Mailbutler.
On mac, I am quite sure that the shortcut app could be quite helpful. (Could the dev implement a feature that permits the download of the contact with a personalised URL that stays the same ? This could help me to use this URL in my shortcut).

I would like to see external contact synchronization, or as a gross compromise, export. We can't invest in putting contact information in Mailbutler if it creates yet another isolated repository from current Apple, Google, and Microsoft contact records. There is already a large enough market niche trying to address synchronization challenges among those repositories, creating or updating contact information in Mailbutler would create enormous problems for any serious customer.

Maurice S. , Jurgen Proschinger thank you for reaching out! We've added this request to the scope of the upcoming project.

Iuliia Artemeva... and that's the standard canned reply you've been telling me for a decade!! I start to understand why projects don't move ahead in Germany as they used to back in the days...:)

Been asking for this feature for over a decade!! No action taken whatsoever. I guess they don't want it or it's too much work?

This problem is currently the only reason we have not moved past the Demo Version. It is absolutely important that Mailbutler Contacts sync with our Outlook Contacts on Desktop / Mac and Phone as well.
Without that, Mailbutler is just an E.Mail Tracking Plugin with templates...

This was my question yesterday_
"The way to use contacts in my mobile and replace my outlook or gmail contacts, I need them to sync in my mobile and able to associate them with any calls that I receive.
How can this work with mailbutler?
Do I have to create a contact in my address list and in mailbutler to have them appear in iOS when I receive a call or a text?"
So, I can use mailbutler for my contacts, but if I use it, I will never know who is calling me.
At least, allow LDAP in mailbutler so it syncs in my phone

Second a proper sync with Apple Contacts or Gmail Contacts! Been saying this since version 1! I won't invest any time in duplicating my contacts database in Mailbutler! Which is why I've not used a large amount of Mailbutler's functionality to date.

As a first step into this direction, we are going to introduce CSV importing & exporting soon 🤓
