Inappropriate?Hey Polle!
Being able to sync with Thunderbird is high on our list too! Thanks for the feedback!
I’m confident

Inappropriate?That already exists. Go to http://www.plaxo.com/downloads/thunde...1 Comment

This is true but the rub comes in that you can't run both Soocial and Plaxo on Outlook (not recommended by Soocial, duplicate issues) and Plaxo works very poorly with Gmail (one way Gmail to Plaxo only) when it works which is not that often from my experience. As a test I might resurrect my Plaxo Gmail link and use that but as I say at least for me Plaxo to any service like Yahoo or Gmail has been only so so. It does work pretty well when just Outlook, T-bird and for some reason MSN are in the mix. Thanks for the download link, I thought plaxo dropped support for T-bird because it does not show up on the dashboard where you add new connections. -
Inappropriate?I'm currently using Google Contact sync addon for thunderbird to sync my contacts between thunderbird and gmail. The link is https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thun...
Hope that helps.

Inappropriate?There is another add-on called Zindus that I have used for the last year or so. It too works quite well.

Inappropriate?Regarding Plaxo
Plaxo is, in my view, not intended for syncing. Plaxo will mess up your gmail database. Plaxo likes to put all contact information in notes and put in their unique id for each of your contacts. Plaxo is good for keeping the contacts current but it does not behave well for Gmail.
My experience with Plaxo is about 1 year old so they have learned how to interact better with gmail since the release of gmail contacts api. -
Inappropriate?Thanks for the posts maybe one of these will work for me. I am still hope that Soocial makes one for the T-Bird because sync seems to work the best if a given device is only 1 step away from the sync hub. As soon as you get 2 steps away more errors and incompatibility issues pop up. Soocial caught my eye because they hope to support T-Bird and Blackberry's, both of which I use in addition to my core MS Outlook.

Inappropriate?Why is this topic marked as if the company has already implemented the idea when they haven't done so yet? Either way, I also hope they'll add this option soon. -
Inappropriate?You are right. I changed it now.

Not sure if I understand what you are saying. But we agree we still have issues. We are working really hard to make things a lot better soon. The Thundebird solution might take quite a bit longer....

Inappropriate?any news?

Inappropriate?Not yet Fredrik. Have you considered using our Gmail sync and then using a thunderbird extension to sync your contacts with your Gmail address book?
I believe Zindus is quite good.1 Comment Add a comment

If I would sync my contacts with Gmail - what would I need Soocial for?
-
Inappropriate?How about adding some kind of LDAP-(web-)interface to Soocial? In Thunderbird you can configure a LDAP-server for your contacts. So you don't even have to use an add-on (which may be forbidden to use in some environments...).
I’m hopeful

Thanks for the suggestion Stephan. This is probably not the direction we are going though. I would probably easier for us to support existing clients like Funambol.
