Once you figure out how to set it up, it's downright magical in synchronizing your contacts from Thunderbird to Zimbra and back again. However, the problem is it has a severe performance issue that causes big problems. On a regular basis it will sync in the background apparently, but even though there are no changes it throttles the CPU use driving Thunderbird to over 100% CPU for about a minute. During this type the application is largely unresponsive, and if you happen to be trying to type an email, you just have to stop and wait. If the app also tries to autosave the draft of the email while this is happening, there is a good chance it will fail, and even corrupt your Drafts folder which then corrupts your entire email setup. Recovery from that is not easy, so I would say this extension is pre-beta given the magnitude of the bug and risk involved in using it. Proceed with caution!
