Pretty much correct. Kab1 supports a sub-department and my GUI doesn't (I guess
the "office location" field is close to this). kab1 also supports an arbitrary
number of email addresses, my gui just supports 3 (or the custom field editor
could be used to enter more), my gui doesn't support talk addresses though you
could use the email address gui for entering them (or the custom fields editor).

I would like to add support for multi-media formats in the future and for
groups (or categories as the are called in the MS Outlook approximation)

Here is a list of fields my GUI provides support for, it is heavily based on
the set of fields MS outlook 98 supports. There is a version of my address book
entry editor in cvs (abui_test), I have done a fair bit of work on it (better
i18n support and bug fixing mainly) that I have yet to check in.

My GUI also provides support for custom fields as does MS Outlook
