My Reviews

CardBook

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Further to my previous review, I agree with the developer's response that you can send to a group by typing the group name. However, I have one group named Lions and another named Lions CSC. If I type Lions it lists all members of that group but only selects the first name on the list.

I found a solution by changing the group name from Lions to Lions Members. It seems that the app is confused if one group name is a subset of another

CardBook

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I have just installed the add-on hoping it will meet all my needs. I already have a Thunderbird address book and a Google contacts account. I have created groups in both so I can send emails to multiple recipients from either Thunderbird or an email app on my phone.

One task I often do is to forward incoming emails to a group in my Thunderbird address book, or a Google Contacts group on my phone. It there a way to do this using Cardbook?

gContactSync

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I have created a number of address books (e.g. Relatives, Christmas Cards and Friends). When I Edit Accounts the right-hand pane doesn't always update, or allow me to Find All Groups, so I can't be sure that the mapping is correct. At other times it does work correctly.

Also my Friends address book won't update, so I have entries in Google Contacts but none in Thunderbird. When Edit Accounts does work I've tried renaming the address book at both ends (e.g. to Mates or Friend) to no avail. Edit Accounts shows no difference between it and other address books

gContactSync

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

I have the same problem as others: The app used to work, then stopped. I Reset all gContactSync settings then tried to create a new account linked to my gmail address and get Error 403: rate_limit_exceeded. This seems to be a developer problem so I have reported it to them but they haven't replied.

Manually sort folders

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

There are numerous comments that the extension doesn't work with the latest version of Thunderbird. However, this fixes it:

Go to Thunderbird>>Tools>>Options>>Advanced>>General>>Config Editor

Scroll down to extensions.tbsortfolders@xulforum.org.accounts

Right-click and select Reset

Repeat for extensions.tbsortfolders@xulforum.org.defaultaccount

Restart Thunderbird
