Description Patrick Ohly 2012-10-12 14:19:32 UTC 
The system address book is writable. It must be possible to create, update and remove contacts.

Manager.AddContact/ModifyContact/RemoveContact

Fully implemented in SyncEvolution. However, there is a known issue with writing a modified contact back through folks into EDS, causing both additional resource consumption and even deadlocks.

Worked around that inside SyncEvolution. However, writing contacts is very slow because every modified property must be written into folks and from there into EDS separately and one after the other.

Added a remark about this to bug #55918 and closing the issue here because it is fully functional now.
