[gentoo-user] Weird high-level question about an ad-hoc wiki-like database

[Steve [Gentoo]]

I am looking for a client-server package (preferably with the server on
gentoo from portage) which provides something which is vaguely like
CRM... but in reverse - and for personal as opposed to corporate use.

One requirement is for it to act as an address book that will allow me
to associate:

Contact name, phone number, mobile number, email address etc.
Company name, location, notes
Communication time-stamp; notes; associated documents.

I'd like to be able to search all that for keywords... and to be able to
find out at a glance from, say, a phone number when I was last contacted
and what happened.  I'd also like to be able to tell quickly if I've
talked to other contacts at the same company - and, if so, how recently
- and about what.

Of primary importance is the idea that I want to be able to resolve
these kinds of things as quickly as possible (so it looks as if I'm not
yet senile because I don't remember who someone is.) It would be great
if it would integrate with my postfix email server and tag incoming
mails if they are referenced by my inverse CRM system. :-)

I think it would be invaluable when getting quotes for things, for
example, when you ask a dozen companies - forget who is who... but then
get quotes by phone... and you wish you knew what they had promised on
the previous call.

Does anyone use anything that might fit the bill?  Any other suggestions?
Does anyone use a good address book (preferably one which integrates
with Thunderbird via LDAP)?

I hope this isn't too off-topic.
