vCards are a common interchange format for PIM's and address books, GenieGate supports downloading of vCard's for users in the search result page.
vCards have only been tested with the Linux GnomeCard program. It should work with most any PIM since vCards are a standard file format.
In order for vCards to work, certain properties need to be available. (Unset properties are simply skipped over, but the property definition must exist.)
