Ive been trying Contacts:

http://github.com/cardmagic/contacts

It allows to import contacts from gmail with 2 lines of code!!! Works wonderfully for me. Still have to check out if it supports insertion and syncing (??) maybe.

I once used a gem called Blackbook: http://github.com/purzelrakete/blackbook

It supports a number of email services. But seems it hasn't been updated for a while.

    neutrino, blackbook is scrapping based and such types of contact fetching architecture breaks when the providers such as gmail change their user interface to the slightest bits. – Ishu Feb 13 '10 at 15:10
