gContactSync

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

by houseofcakes on Sept. 16, 2015 ·

I'm running iMac, 10.9.x. I have Thunderbird 38.2.0 so Google Contacts doesn't work anymore (it was working fine up until the last upgrade). So I DL'd gContactSync. It seemed to be working but now it seems to be a RAM hog in that when I have it loaded, it uses over 2 GIG of RAM. I disabled it and Tbird is back down to 360MB RAM. I'll go into my gmail and merge contacts as I noticed before using gContactSync that gmail would end up with thousands of the same duplicate email address, so not sure what was going on there...

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0.5). 

Google Contacts

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

I think this is a great app and I'm curious to know if anyone is experiencing this issue, but there seems to be a weird random bug (maybe not) where it captures the same email over and over and thinks it is "new" each time and stores it in your "Other Contacts." I was having issues with Contacts loading SUPER slow on my android so I looked at my Google Contacts in Thunderbird to discover 24,000 "other" contacts. Of which at least 2,500 were from the same exact email. By cleaning out these thousands of the same emails using Gmail's "merge duplicates" I was able to get my contacts running quickly again on all platforms (TB, Android, etc.). Note: Google can only merge duplicates 2500 at a time and for some I had 10,000 of the same email address so keep running it over and over to clean it out. I feel like it's from TB plug-in, and it doesn't happen with all addresses...so it may have been fixed.

Provider for Google Calendar

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

I want to love this app and in fact, I do b/c it makes Lightning seamless with Android phones. BUT, I feel like there's a memory leak (on Mac) b/c when I run it, my TB/Lightning goes from ~350MB RAM to almost 900MB RAM. I've tested it with only TB/Lightning and then tested it with TB/Lightning/Provider. Good idea, but major RAM suck!
