Having just got back from the Balsa web site I found this in the FAQ,

5.  Does it have an address book?

             No.  The address book code from Gnome will be used via a CORBA interface, but the code to implement this is just not ready yet.
             When it is ready it will be implemented.

So from my experience in Balsa 0.6 it is still not implimented which makes the address book pretty useless.
