CardBook looks to be full of features, anyway it's missing some of the most important and useful, like import contacts from the Thunderbird native addressbook. It does the import the very first time, but if you want to do it again... no way.

Further, the import from file feature is clumsy, confusing and not documented.
You have to rely only on tries and guess what happens.
And no, no copy and paste contacts does't work.

Plus, the sync is buggy, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. And the categories are not synced with Google if you want to keep the ones already existing (you must create new ones and the rename them... guess if you have many...)

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (60.8).

Hi
omg !... it's possible to do the import of the Thunderbird standard address books when you want : "Add a new address book", then select the third option "Import Thunderbird's standard address books"...

for the others points, may you email me at cardbook (at) cardbook.icu all of this should work without any problem... I'm very interested by your case...

(first be sure to use the last CardBook version (60.8), then restart Thunderbird and readd your Google address book...)

Works very well and compliments for being already compatible with TB 78.

As of today it's practically the only working alternative to gContactSync (that is not compatible with TB 78 - hope it will be soon)

I give it 4 stars because it would be perfect if it could handle and sync contact categories with Google (even if we're aware of the problems - Google side)
