Account Properties – Storage
These settings let you set up a remote storage system for your contact list via WebDAV or XCAP. (The contact
list is always stored locally, even when you set up for remote storage.)
The tab only appears for the current default account: see below for an explanation.
How Storage Works for a Single Account
If you have only one account, all three storage methods are supported and easily managed.
How Storage Works for Multiple Accounts
If you have multiple accounts, the local storage method is supported and easily managed.
However, if you are thinking of setting up remote storage, keep the following in mind: When you add a contact
(either manually or through a new contact notification), the contact is stored at the remote storage location for
the current default account. Keep in mind that this account may not allow the new contact’s availability to be
watched (for an explanation see “Account Properties – Presence” on page 62). In addition, when you switch
default accounts, the list of contacts displayed on the Contacts tab switches from the old default account to the
new default account.
