I use bbdb3; never got to grips with org-contacts and I have too many contacts in any case. bbdb3 provides a subtle improvement to bbdb2: better more logical key bindings and less surprising behaviour overall. I like it. Org will interpret the "anniversary" (e.g. birthdays, wedding anniversary, other dates) field in bbdb entries to bring in information into the agenda view, if desired. Look at =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist=. > Have you, maybe, tried mu4e or should I simply stick with proven > Gnus? I am a confirmed gnus user. No other email system comes close to doing what gnus can do. Given the large volume of email I get, splitting and scoring are essential to survival! Integration with bbdb is also obviously key for me. -- : Eric S Fraga, GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D : in Emacs 24.3.50.1 and Org release_7.9.3a-808-gf94d81
