Glad you're considering it! EBDB will migrate automatically from
versions 2 or 3 of BBDB (it is slow, but you only have to do it once),
you just have to have the `bbdb-file' variable pointing to a valid BBDB
file, then call `ebdb-open'.
It supports org links, either to single records, or to record searches:
following a link like "ebdb:mail/@gnu.org" will search for all records
with Gnu email addresses. You can also tag your records with org tags,
and pop up an EBDB window alongside a tag agenda search, for instance.
In theory it supports mu4e, but I think you would be the first user, if
you tried it, so beware! :)
Eric
