Hallo,

wir wollten in der Firma sowohl ein Adressbuch als auch einen Terminkalender zentral abspeichern und synchronisieren. Die Lösung war eine Kombination aus Thunderbird, Lightning und Addressbooks Synchronizer. Sehr geehrter Herr Gersdorf vielen Dank für dieses tolle Stück Software. Für eine detaillierte Installations-Anleitung habe ich bei Wawerko eine kleine Anleitung verfasst. http://www.wawerko.de/index.php?instructiontitle=Anleitung-für-FTP-Synchronisation-von-Kalender-und-Adressbuch-in-Mozilla-Thunderbird&option=com_wawerko&task=overview&id=1428#top

Note I have updated my review because I found a way to "trick" the address books into syncing. If you are trying to sync from 2 different computers (what other reason :) they you must create an addressbook with the same name on the second computer otherwise the download will never complete. The font size is still WAY to large for Asus EEE 10 but maybe there is a work around for that.

Needs to allow separate address book names as machine1 may have different name than machine2. I have tried to manually override but so far no luck. Fonts Way too big even on ASUS EEE 10. It does not appear to work at on ASUS machine but it may be because it's linux, not sure at this point.
I gave 3 stars because if software really worked it would be great.

This is not usable if your address book contain lists - this extension will erase them all without a warning.

A much needed program for maintaining a central addressbook storage location.

This is not a "syncing" application yet.

Note: if you are using IIS Webdav 6.0 with authentication you will need to configure MIME type for the .mab files of else this extension will not properly download the remote addressbooks.

It's pity that it isn't possible to sync between a outlook pst file (which included also addresses) and thunderbird

"Developer Comments

This extensions simple exchanges the addressbookfiles! There is no synchronization of the content! The last upload overwrites all previous uploads."

Then why do you call "Addressbooks Synchronizer?" This is VERY misleading!

thunderbird 2.0.0.12, using webdav to own local server - works well, INCLUDING preserving distribution lists. have used it to populate newly installed desktops.
(would get a 10 if it updated at per-entry level instead of per-addressbook level)

I loved this feature, and I mean loved it, until I realized it had overwritten all my lists as blank. I lost it all, which sucks. Hopefully an update will be out soon that fixes this.

Now that you've fixed the mail-lists issue, this is an AWESOME plugin. I sync it w/ 3 computers. Now I just need to figure out how to sync it with my Apple Addressbook.

Thanks!!

This is excellent! I finally found something that can sync my contacts in Thunderbird!

I had earlier tried Sync Kolab, which is buggy (my deleted contacts keep reappearing in a refresh!!)

This is a great tool. Make it better by adding the same logic to sync separate calendars and tasks. Nice Job!

I have a Windows home network with four users on two computers, and a Linux fileserver/router/firewall to serve both Windows boxes. Getting my wife and kids to work with a LDAP server was never going to work. I copied the biggest Thunderbird addressbook file out of the 4 separate ones we have to a Samba share, and installed this addon for every copy of Thunderbird. This works perfectly for us, and has made my life much easier. Any updates get propagated to all 4 addressbooks without any extra work. Thank you!
