If you need to sync both a calendar and contacts and have problems finding a Funambol/SyncML add-on that supports syncing both contacts and calendars that will work with a free online service, consider not using Lightning and using Google Calendar Tab plus an add-on that just syncs contacts (either with a Funambol/SyncMNL server or with Google Contacts) instead.īoth the Cardbook and the SoGo Connector extensions support CardDAV, a protocol that supports remote address books. There are a lot of comments about it on this blog entry by one of the Thunderbird 3.x developers. The Google Calendar Tab add-on lets you use one Google calendar, and doesn't require Lightning.

See the Wikipedia article on SyncML for a list of SyncML plugins, servers and services. Tsync also works with SyncML servers such as GSMSync. Mobyko for example currently lists 57 specific Blackberry models it supports. Search the list of supported phones of the other providers to see if they support it. See What if I have a BlackBerry device? for information about using a Blackberry with myFUNAMBOL. Thunderbird normally uses *.mab files to store an address book in your profile but it can also use a LDAP server as a address book. Memotoo makes your contacts available using a LDAP server (directory server).

Memotoo, Mobical, Mobyko, MyFUNAMBOL (its free but runs ads on some mobile phones) and Zyb are examples of free services running Funambol servers. You don't have to have a calendar ( Lightning extension) if you just want to sync/share contacts. Typically you can use either a Funambol extension such as the Funambol Mozilla Plugin or a SyncML extension such as the Tsync extension. However, you can also use Thunderbird with them. The tzpush add-on will sync your address books with Zentyal, Zarafa, Horde, /hotmail and other Activesync providers.įunambol servers are provided by some free online calendar services primarily to synch your your contacts and calendar with phones and PDA's. It works fine with Thunderbird, but is too complex for most users.

The NTFS file system under Windows 2000 and XP supports an equivalent of a symlink called a junction point. That works as long as you don't have a copy of the address book in the profile. As far as Thunderbird is concerned nothing has changed, the operating system hides the fact that the file is actually stored elsewhere. If you're using Linux you could move a address book to another location (such as a file share) and then use a symlink to create a symbolic link to the file. However, that functionality no longer works. That would let multiple users and/or machines use a single copy.

Early versions of Thunderbird let you replace the "abook.mab" filename with a full pathname to specify the address book was stored on a file share. Your personal address book is normally stored as a "abook.mab" file within the profile folder. Its not a real synchronization tool, just an easier way to copy files. You could avoid this by sharing a single copy.Ĭan copy address books from a local folder or file share, or use FTP, WebDAV, or IMAP to fetch the file. However, this assumes all new entries or changes were in the copy thats being replicated. One way to share address books is to store the user profiles on a file share and overwrite the addressbooks of each user with a simple "copy" command. 4.1 If the add-on doesn't support calendars.2 Share an address book on a file share.
