I've only played around with this for a few minutes so I can't speak to stability yet but at first glance this is excellent. I'd go so far as to recommend this replace the default Thunderbird address book. I was using AddressBook Tab but think this is going to replace it!

I appreciate some neat features like Mail Popularity (similar to XOBNI's feature) and Categories (great batching feature!).

I found this plugin looking for some way to link related contacts similar to the way Outlook does. Categories does the trick! And it appears you can edit contacts in CB independent of TB's address book.

Will social media links for contacts be added soon?

--> it's already possible to have direct phone calls or direct jabber. for this in CardBook preferences, check the tab "Internet Communications" (fourth tab)... hope to have correctly understood :O)

Thanks Philippe for your help - problem solved.

######
For anyone´s reference:

Scrolling in E-mail-list is extremely laggy.
Could trace this problem back to this Add-in because after disabling this add-on everything smooth.

Gone back to v 21.3 - everything smooth again.
Windows 10, Thunderbird 52.2.1

Love this add-on - please make it useable again. Thank you!

in Thunderbird preferences, Display tab, uncheck the last option : "Show only display name for people in my address book" ;O)

I had the SOGO connector before this Addon and it produces many errors in the Nextcloud LOG.

This plugin however works great!

Would be super cool if you could change the documentation here and add CardBook instead of SOGO: https://github.com/nextcloud/documentation/issues/529

Thank you!

in most recent 45.? and 52.?, email address autocomplete does not work any longer. The autocomplete list comes up for a short moment, but goes away and only the typed letters are there. Any ideas what could cause this? Conflict with other addons? To get autocomplete back: either safe mode or disable cardbook (Win 10 32 bit)
Thanks

So far so good. Just a bit of testing but so far I love this tool. Great UI and great Job. Hands down one of the best addon's I have ever seen thats written and maintained by an independent developer. Even has a forum for us users =^]

Thank you for filling this important void in Thunderbird!!

I have my own Kolab server and uses Thunderbird as a Linux client. I already had CalDAV and was looking for CardDAV. This add-on looked promising and surely delivered what I was hoping for. Now I manage to sync contacts between multiple clients and servers. Five stars *****

I use this addon since quite some months now and it has all the functions I miss at Thunderbird's address book.

Great!

There is just one issue: It is not possible to instruct Thunderbird's Junk filter not to mark mails from Cardbook addresses as junk as it is possible with addresses from Thunderbird's address book. So "good" mails get sorted out from time to time. Is it planned to implement this feature in the future?

In reply to Philippe: Oh, I was not aware of these possibilites of Thunderbird's filter. Now I filter the Cardbook addresses and set matches to "no junk" (filter runs before junk filter, of course). Thanks for pointing me to this!

I cannot override the junk filter and the quick filter bar because the job is done in C++ library... for the junk filter maybe you may create a filter to rearrange the moved emails...

There aren't many options to sync with a cardDAV server for Thunderbird. I've been struggling with Sogo connector for the last year, as their development has tailed off, and my suggestions for bugfixes have remained ignored.
Cardbook not only now actually works with my nextcloud/owncloud server, but it also wraps it up in a nice interface. Thanks Phillipe

This is very good, much better than SoGo Connector. A full replacement for the built-in address book would be awesome, like someone mentioned I see lots of confusion in peoples' minds about this.

I'd like to do a translation into my language, how would I go about it?

Also, it's be great if it followed regional settings for DOBs and such.

Excellent add-on. If you're looking for an app that allow you to sync your Gmail contacts with TB, Stop searching, You got it. Actually I rather installing this add-on than gContactsync.

I love it, try it and you will too.

Excelente add-on. Si estas buscando una app que te permita sincronizar tus contactos Gmail con TB, deja de buscar, la conseguiste!

De hecho prefiero instalar este add-onn que gContactsync

Me encanta, pruébalo y te encantará también.

there is a little problem for the moment with the Google CardDAV API : it does not sync the categories... they have a bug and they are not very reachable...

Hello

I personally have my own calendar and contacts server (radicale). After months of seeking a good solution to edit my contacts on my workstation (not on my mobile!), CardDavMATE (looks great on their server), whatever, nothing really worked, and Thunderbird's built in Address Book is not really the hype.

So I am very glad to be able to use CardBook now as address book (editing-) solution on my desktop. The version upgrade from x to 16.2 is great: No more flickering (probably by syncing with the server). CardBook is the only solution I know to associate several mobile phone numbers with a person!

What I would improve:
- If I create a remote address book with an invalid context path, validation is ok, but nothing is found (i.e. my address book is on server http://192.168.1.2:5232/user/contacts-20170132.vcf/ but I entered http://192.168.1.2:5232/user/contacts-201701132.vcf/)
- If I use an address book on a server that does only need a user name (instead of a username, password pair), I have to enter a password, to get on in the configuration dialog).

Great, congratulations.
Recommended add-on!

Great, that's what I missed a long time. It works fine for me - the Server is a Zimbra Collaboration Server (ZCS).
