This addon is really fine. The user interface is quite good.
But there is a problem when syncing with owncloud (I am not sure if it is owncloud dependent or not): If I edit more than one contact (lets say three contacts) and start syncing after editing the last one, only the one which is currently selected will be correctly synced to the server. All other changes were lost: The other two contacts appear in the state before editing. The changes can not be found on the server. So you always have to press the sync button after each edited contact before you select an other one. Hopefully you will never forget this when editing. If there will be a solution this addon gets 5 stars from me.

Thanks for the quick response: The failure was on owncloud. After fixing this issue, it works perfectly. 5 Stars!!!

Hi
set the debug mode and increase the log size in CardBook preferences (first tab)... retry your operations (3 modifications + 1 sync) then look at the CardBook log to see why 2 of your modifications were rejected... If you do not find, email me the log, it should be relatively easy to solve :O)

Very useful tool.
It took me a while to find out how to set up a sync account (answer: address book > new address book > remote).
I am using it to sync with posteo. This works, except for the following fields:
- Groups
- Lists
- Categories
- Gender
- Custom fields
- Role
- Department
- Internet communication accounts
- IM accounts
After I edit the remote contact, and I sync the address book, the categories I added locally for that contact disappear.
may you contact me by email : cardbook.thunderbird @gmail.com

Works like a charm to synchronise my contacts using CardDAV between Thunderbird and mailbox.org

I'm using this add-on for CardDAV addressbooks and it works great! Thanks Philippe!
For now I just found 1 thing that I'd like to fix: I'd like to be able to remove the "Uncategorized" sub-item in the accounts list under each account as I don't use categories so this is just a distraction. I know I can collapse the account so it's not visible, but it'd be nice to be able to hide this altogether.
Or maybe the add-on could detect if there are any categories apart from Uncategorized and if there are none, then don't show "Uncategorized". If there are, then show them + "Uncategorized".

Bien qu'un peu complexe à mettre en service, le module synchronise tout mes contacts laposte.net (y compris les photos) avec Thunderbird.

Bonjour,
CardBook remplace efficacement le SOGO connector dans mon entreprise. serveur Davical pour les contacts et calendrier.
Malheureusement, je n'ai pas trouvé comment intégrer mon annuaire openLDAP ou AD ? Est-ce prévu ou existe-t-il une ruse ?
Merci et j'en profite pour faire un don ;)
A bientôt et merci pour le boulot !
Bonjour
on ne peut pas mettre des carnets LDAP ou AD dans CardBook... peut être dans les carnets d'adresses standards de Thunderbird et dans ce cas il faut désactiver dans les préférences de CardBook, premier onglet, l'option "CardBook, unique source pour les contacts"

I have been using the SOGO-connector previously to manage contacts in Thunderbird. This never worked well, particularly it synced poorly and unreliably with my cloud and other devices.
For the first time, I now have the feeling that I can use an app which not only does the job reliably, but also has all features for professional contact management (for computer beginners, it might have too many features though). It works perfectly with my Nextcloud installation, thus allowing me to store and manage my data on my own infrastructure.
I can definitely recommend this important Addon to Thunderbird which fills a big gap in the functionality of Thunderbird. @community: please help to spread, promote, support and improve this Addon !

Funktioniert bei mir sehr gut. Sehr übersichtlich und klar. Gut gelöste halbautomatische Zusammenführung von mehrfachen Adresseinträgen.

J'ai passé ma soirée à configurer des smartphones et ordinateurs pour gérer mes contacts stockés via un serveur CardDav sur un NAS Synology et seule cette extension ne veut pas importer mes contacts... Pourtant, ça s'est très bien passé partout ailleurs (Android, Apple, Windows et osX) !
EDIT au 09.03.2018 :
Je ne sais pas pourquoi mais après plusieurs tentatives, ça fonctionne. Merci au développeur ;)
j'ai un ticket en cours chez Synology... le workaround est d'utiliser http au lieu de https...

Address autocompletion works much better now, at least in Mac OSX, as it puts the most used contacts first when you compose a new mail and start filling out the recipients names.
This alone is worth 5 stars in my humble opinion.
The other features (I need to use) also seem to work as expected.
Works like a charm when connected to Mac OSX Server address book service, which is a VCard service.
If you are on a mac, I'm sure you'll find this add-on to be "the missing Thunderbird address book" that will fill an important gap compared to other clients.
Please note that all of the above is my humble opinion.

I wish there was a better help section but overall a very good program
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (26.8).not understood, may you contact me by email : cardbook.thunderbird@gmail.com

It's a really nice addon which can do a lot if you found out how it works. The categories are very nice to sort all of the contacs but after setting them a few times I give it up. They allways get deleted and I spend a lot of time for nothing. Since more than a year now it's not working.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (26.8).this is due to the Google CardDAV API which is buggy...

if CardBook is active mailing lists don't show up in the contacts sidebar
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (26.7).by email please : cardbook.thunderbird@gmail.com
Edit : this was due to an incompatibility with an addon (for the moment unidentified)

Most of my collegues use Outlook, so having a vCard-compliant address book works well, allowing me to send contact info and vice versa. The ability to add secondary emails to contacts directly, without copy/paste is also great. A current lack of documentation however hurts its role as a power user upgrade.

Hi,
first: thanks for cardbook. Works as advertized for my Thunderbird on Linux.
Having said that, I want to comment on the person who wanted documentation on video (" There are no videos on YouTube or Vimeo about this extension").
In my opinion video is about the worst vehicle to communicate this kind of information. Facts that you can assimilate by glancing at a text page for just a few seconds, take much, much longer if you have to sit through a video of several minutes or even longer.
Therefore, if you decide to create documentation, please do it in text first...
My two cents.

J'utilise MyPhoneExplorer pour synchroniser mes contacts entre TB et mon téléphone. MPE ne sachant pas exporter au format vcf V4.0, seul reconnu par CardBook, je passe par le format csv.
Et il y a 2 fonctions que j'ai pas trouvées quand j'Importe en cvs dans CardBook :
1/ un champ "neutre" pour les colonnes à ignorer
2/ la possibilité de sauvegarder la correspondance des colonnes. Ce qui éviterait d'avoir à sélectionner les champs correspondants aux colonnes importées (29 dans mon cas) à chaque fois.
Merci
dans la version 26.2 (qui est toujours en cours de validation chez Mozilla), vous devriez trouver ces deux fonctionnalités :O)... si vous êtes pressé contactez moi par mail ;O)

It's clear that a lot of work was spent by the developer, putting sheer attention to details, delivering a product which looks professional and complete.
However, there's no documentation at all.
There are no videos on YouTube or Vimeo about this extension.
Anyone first arriving to the product will be confused by so many things to configure and/or tweek... and will only see an empty list of contacts, which is something absolutely useless.
Ideally, the extension should infer some useful CardDAV servers, from the email accounts I have configured. So, if I have a gmail account, chances are that I have contacts there... and the extension should try to access them.
As I said: the extension looks great and extremely professional. However, after 15 minutes spent with it, visiting forums and trying to find documentation... nothing happened. And I simply uninstalled it.
Hi
you're completely right : documentation is one of my next priority... after having been installed CardBook proposes to import your contacts from the Thunderbird standard address books and it's a very good idea to also propose to download contacts corresponding to your email address ;O)

This addon is a good choice to synchronize your addressbooks with CardDAV. Works perfectly with owncloud / nextcloud.

J'ai installé sur Thunderbird 52.5.2 version EN deux extensions : Ce module (CardBook) & un autre module agenda (Lightning).
Cardbook est toujours en Francais alors que mon Thunderbird est en Anglais. Si je désactive le module d'agenda, CardBoook devient en anglais.
Vraiment c'est étrange !
y'à t-il une solution pour conserver les deux modules et que CadrBook soit en anglais ?
--------------------------------Soucis Résolu-----------------------------------
CardBook ne semble pas être en cause.
J'ai installé de nouveau Thunderbird, et j'ai ajouté ce module et ça fonctionne correctement.
Je vous remercie Philippe pour votre suivi.
étrange problème... essayez d'installer l'addon Simple Locale Switcher pour voir dans quelle langue vous êtes vraiment... avez vous des erreurs dans la console CTRL+SHIFT+J ? (la suite par email : cardbook.thunderbird@gmail.com)
