Google Suggested Contacts: include or ignore

When you email someone for the first time, Google creates a Suggested Contact for you.

The addon lets you include or ignore such contacts when you sync with Thunderbird.

Suggested Contacts: include or ignore

By default, Suggested Contacts are included.

If you establish sync including 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 addressbook is left with non-Suggested Contacts.

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

    It would be great if this could sync the suggested contacts from gmail with the Collected Contacts address book of Thunderbird.

    Indeed. That’s quite a bug, indeed. Thanks for the attention to detail.
