I think most apps use "Contacts" rather than Addressbook these days. Also, since multiple addressbooks are supported the singular term is a bit odd. Perhaps we should consider changing the (user-visible) name of the component from Addressbook to Contacts?

+1 from me, same as the big other mail hosting like gmail.

Additionally the list of contact sources now called "Groups" should probably be changed to "Address books". The top level items there aren't groups, but books.

I think the term "Groups" more adequately describes what's listed in that column: books and groups. Once can consider address books as a way of "grouping" contacts but groups aren't really "address books" to me.

I like "Contacts" but would keep "Groups" while other systems still used "Address books" I don't think its a name we need to keep.
