I’d like to download my addressbook from [web.de](http://web.de) and ideally also keep it in sync w. eMClient (i.e. both ways). After cleaning up my addresses in [web.de](http://web.de) I hoped that this would automatically sync w. eMClient - but it did not. So I deleted my mail account and set it up again -\> no addresses at all. Next: Restart eMClient -\> still no address book. 1. How do I sync my addresses (just like my mails) ? 2. Will they stay in sync - or do I have to trigger that? The broader question is how to keep the addressbook across iOS, Android and [web.de](http://web.de) in sync. (and not use Google).  My thought is to use [web.de](http://web.de) as hub for all clients. Thanks for your help / thoughts. ---

If [web.de](http://web.de) offers CardDAV you could connect to that from eM Client as well as your other devices, then they would all be in sync. You will find that in Menu \> Tools \> Accounts. Then add a new account. ![](https://d2r1vs3d9006ap.cloudfront.net/s3_images/1716289/RackMultipart20180318-32819-10dvg1o-Untitled_inline.png?1521365429 "Image https//d2r1vs3d9006apcloudfrontnet/s3\_images/1716289/RackMultipart20180318-32819-10dvg1o-Untitled\_inlinepng1521365429")
