alternative to Apple’s Address Book?

[Robinstanley]

I’m looking for an alternative to Apple’s Address Book.

There would be nothing wrong with this application if it actually worked. Unfortunately that is not the case.

Address Book’s favourite trick is to delete all your contacts. I’ve had this happen to me on two seperate macs and judging by all the “Address Book Gone!” Postings on Apple’s discussion boards I am far from alone.

I have about 4000 contacts in Address Book which may, or may not account for it’s grinding & soul destroying slowness.

Help! Can any kind person, save me from an imminent nervous breakdown by recommending an alternative to Address book.

Thanks
Robin

Thunderbird works well as an address / e-mail client. Although I get the feeling you want something a bit more enterprise class?

if you have Office: Mac there is always Entourage.
