 Thunderbird and Lightning
I have just installed Thunderbird 2 and Lightning 0.5 using the Wiki instructions and now have a client that will sync calendar both ways, imap email and although contacts arent synchronised I can use the Thunderbird IMAP folder of Contacts to open and add to a local address book.
Not ideal but actually more useable than the current Evolution offering in terms of reliability, speed and basic use.
Tried Gunter Gersdorf's Addressbook sync XPI extension v 0.7.0 from his website (very helpful guy) but as the IMAP offer of the contacts folder is non writable via IMAP it cant quite do the job with Zimbra. Would be good if there was some kind of IMAP interface to the Contacts DB or possibly it could use a local client end SOAP interface on TB extension to do the same?
Looks like the last bit needed for a OSS based client that would be cross platform! |
