I am currently using gContactSync 0.2.1 with Thunderbird 2.0.0.21.

This has been my third in-depth attempt to have an add on synchronize my contacts to and from GMail to Thunderbird.

This is EASILY the best addon for this purpose that I've found. Google Contacts by H.Ogi and Zindus by Leni Mayo were both functional, but extremely limited in the level of customization and, more importantly, in the amount of data transferred between GMail and Thunderbird.

My only minor - and I feel that it's very minor considering all of the vast benefits of this add on - is that, occasionally, certain information is initially parsed somewhat incorrectly. For instance, I had an entry with:
LastName, FirstName 'Nickname'
The add on did not correctly identify the different parts of the name. I solved this by copy / pasting to correct the fields and, voila!, problem solved.

I would highly recommend this addon to anyone using GMail (either POP or IMAP) with Thunderbird.

And thanks to Josh Greenen and the rest of the development team for this add on. Keep up the great work!
