Subject: Autosaving Windows Address Books

The users are all on XP machines running Anzio to access filePro on a
Unix server.  They use either Outlook Express or Thunderbird as their
MUA, fetching their email with imap from the same Unix box.

Each user has accumulated an extensive address book in his|her MUA.  But
there's no direct way to select one of these addresses for use in a
filePro output process, and the frequency of typos is annoying.

Both TBird and O/E let one use a few clicks to export a CSV file of the
address book, and this file can be saved on the user's share on the Unix
box (which by default is that user's Unix home directory).  Massaging
CSV files into a filePro database is easy enough.

But this is just a static snapshot of the addresses present when each
file was exported from its owner's MUA.

Is there any Windows software which could run in the background to do
this exporting on a schedule, without user intervention?
