It is easy to access evolution and Thunderbird activities. Its on the top of
our list ATM. It is not in zeitgeist domain to merge contacts etc. We can
just tell you how you use the contacts. So all I can offer is to map the
contacts from zeitgeist to U1 or libfolks :)
Again I think this is currently the best approach.
Cheers
