Issue
Allow more than two email addresses within the Address Book UI
Challenges
- Need to scope limit to the current address book, not doing major nsIAbCard refactoring.
- Existing UI isn't really set up to handle multiple of email addresses per contact.
- May be able to rearrange the email addresses and allow for some scrolling.
- Do we allow tagging of email addresses with types?
- How do we interface into existing systems (e.g. LDAP, Mac OS X)?
- LDAP can have multiple values for most (all?) properties
- Mac OS X apparently supports multiple email addresses
- Windows Contacts has multi email-address, I don't know about WAB support
- How do we manage import?
- This currently has a direct 1-1 field mapping which may be difficult with multiple email addresses
- How do we manage export?
- How do we keep the performance reasonable?
