I'm sorry, but the review site is NOT a support site. There is a support site link on the main page where issues may be filed - https://github.com/thunderbird-conversations/thunderbird-conversations/issues

For Cardbook support you need to report to the Cardbook owner - https://gitlab.com/CardBook/CardBook/-/issues/616 - they are believe that supporting the standard Thunderbird add-on interfaces would compromise, and so Cardbook fails to work properly with many add-ons. I'm not prepared to implement and support something special for every add-on just because they won't make it work with standard interfaces.

Translated to German with Firefox Translate:

Es tut mir leid, aber die Bewertungsseite ist KEIN Support-Seite. Es gibt einen Link zur Support-Website auf der Hauptseite, wo Fragen eingereicht werden können - https://github.com/thunderbird-conversations/thunderbird-conversations/issues

Für Cardbook-Support müssen Sie dem Cardbook-Besitzer - https://gitlab.com/CardBook/CardBook/-/issues/616 - melden, glauben sie, dass die Unterstützung der Standard-Thabird-Asd-Schnittstellen beeinträchtigt würde, und so funktioniert Cardbook nicht richtig mit vielen Add-ons. Ich bin nicht bereit, etwas Besonderes für jedes Add-on zu implementieren und zu unterstützen, nur weil sie es nicht mit Standardschnittstellen funktionieren lassen.

I can't reproduce the blank white pages, everything works fine here. Please report at https://github.com/thunderbird-conversations/thunderbird-conversations/issues if you are still having issues.

There are issues in the thread pane where the icons go away when a conversations message is selected, however that appears to be an issue with Auto Profile Pictures itself.

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.

This review is incorrect and does not represent the discussions on Github.

I, the author, do recognise that this is an important issue for some proportion of people. However, as I have already mentioned on Github multiple times, I do not have much spare time to work on the add-on.

The time I do work on it, is generally on maintenance and doing the best I can to keep the add-on functioning.

Working on additional features such as dark mode support is potentially possible, but then I'll probably end being a year or so behind supporting the latest Thunderbird, e.g. I've still not got support for signed/encrypted emails working again in 115.
