I keep my contacts in a Gmail account. Using EAS, it syncs to my iPhone
and, using the GContactSync extension, to Thunderbird on my Fedora
desktop. Google has a tool to sync it to Outlook on a Windows desktop
or one can use GContactSync with T-bird on Windows as well. I'm not
sure how this might work with KMail. Updates can be made from the GUIs
on any of the platforms or at GMail itself.
