Thanks to LG for the Hungarian translation, available in the 0.8.8 release.

Eudora was a tremendously popular email client in it’s heyday and it still has lots of loyal users.  Nowadays, Eudora is essentially Thunderbird with a Eudora skin.

The Zindus addon mostly works in Eudora - with one caveat. Read the rest of this entry »

Today’s 0.8.7 release includes support for the latest beta release of Thunderbird 3.

The addon has been translated into Ukranian (thanks to nazar_ko).

Bugfixes are listed in the release notes.

Today’s 0.8.6 release includes three new translations:

• Czech: cs-CZ - thanks to fik
• Dutch: nl-NL - thanks to: Joost de Bruijn
• Brazilian portuguese: pt-BR - thanks to Luiz

For Google users, the release allows duplicate contacts and supports include/ignore of Suggested contacts.

Bugfixes are listed in the  release notes.

The zindus addon now uses version 2 of the Google Contacts API, which enables two new features:
* include/ignore of Suggested Contacts; and
* duplicate contacts.

Where Version 1 of Google’s Contacts API required users to de-duplicate contacts before establishing sync, Version 2 has no such requirement.

This allows the zindus addon to establish sync with Google immediately.  The dialog that enforced Google’s no-duplicate rule remains only to fix empty contacts.    Contact de-duplication can happen later or not at all.

These features are currently in testing, and will be in the 0.8.6 release.

Congratulations to the engineering talent at Google - great work!

Today’s testing release allows users to include or ignore Google Suggested Contacts.

The addon defaults to including Google Suggested Contacts.

If you establish sync including Google Suggested Contacts, then later decide you don’t want Suggested Contacts, change the setting to Ignore. The next sync is a slow sync, in which the addon deletes Suggested Contacts from your Thunderbird addressbook.  Your Thunderbird addressbook is left with non-Suggested Contacts.

Change the setting back to Include to get Suggested Contacts back into Thunderbird.  Easy!

The 0.8.5 release of the addon includes:
* it-IT translation
* support for SeaMonkey 2.0a2 and Thunderbird 3.0b1
* bugfixes

As of today, the Zindus addon will synchronize Google contacts and synchronize Zimbra contacts with the SeaMonkey address book.

SeaMonkey is the all-in-one internet application suite comprising browser, email, addressbook, news, chat etc.  The mail client in SeaMonkey is based on much the same source code as Thunderbird.

Today’s testing release currently supports SeaMonkey 2.0a2.

The de-DE translation is available in the 0.8.3 release, together with some minor bugfixes for Google users.

The first sync after an upgrade to this version is a slow sync.

If you sync with Google and experience a conflict after an upgrade to this version, it may relate to the bugfix for the Google ‘company’ and ‘title’ fields.  The conflict resolution UI will correctly select the Google version.  Simply click “confirm” and the next sync will work fine.
