I am a Thunderbird user, maybe cause i am used to it from Linux (Debian) and several Microsoft Windows installations at work. Another reason “could be” that Mail.app is really not that good if you compare the features list.

At least from my point of view…anyways

I was always wondering if it would be possible to get Thunderbird working with Apples Addressbook. Basicly it is, but till now its only done by several individuals as work-around.

I have found several pages discussiong this issue:

• Vafer.org
• /dev/null

If you want to push that issue forward you should really create yourself a Bugzilla-Account here and vote for the following bug-entry

Bugzilla Entry:

Bug 203927 ï ¿ ½ Add ability to read from Mac OS X system Address Book

Would be really great to get this implementation working…so lets hope for Thunderbird 2.0 or whatever

Best regards

fidel
