Hi like the conversation add on but it would be even better if you made it compatible to Cardbook.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (4.2.1).

Conversations uses Thunderbird's standard APIs to interact with the address book.

Unfortunately, despite a few suggestions and discussions, the Cardbook author refuses to make their add-on compatible with those APIs. This breaks their integration with various other add-ons, not just Conversations.

Whilst Conversations itself is not perfect in the support of add-ons due to the way it changes the message pane, it is doing its best to support the standard APIs.

I'd rather spend time on making Conversations better support those standard APIs, rather than having to write and support custom code specifically for Cardbook.

If Cardbook wants to do its own thing, then it needs to find a way support Thunderbird's standard APIs.

So please report this to the Cardbook author, as far as I'm concerned, making it compatible is Cardbook's responsibility.
