@cabotine

Zimbra Desktop seems to perform this, have you tried it ?

I would love to have a way to sync the firefox contacts with my zimbra-server. This would be a missing link.

It is a great idea.

Hi, admin, can I copy some information from the post?

Hi Mark, although the firefox version of the addon uses an sqlite db, the data format it stores is a json version of tb’s contact format. Incrementally adding support for groups onto that architecture is tricky.

What really needs to happen is a rewrite of that part of the code to make the addon store google’s gdata xml. It would then support sync of both:
* the entire google contact (not just the subset that maps to tb) and
* groups.

Work hasn’t started on that yet. Partly that’s because it’s not clear how zindus-for-firefox might sit alongside Mozilla’s contacts addon and partly because the Thunderbird development team has finally allocated some resources to contacts and it makes sense to wait and see how that plays out. And … other things are cooking which it’s premature to talk about!

Has there been any progress on synching GROUPS with Google Groups?
They do not sync from what I can tell
I have the latest version (as of 6/17/10) running on 3 machines, 2 Windows7 and one OSX and the groups are all different on 3 machines.

Thanks

@Leni - tested and installs fine on 3.6.2 and .3

Questions:
How do we track the sync functionality as compared to the Tbird addon?
I see no group sync, but in Tbird I think this is happening.

Just trying to get my head around what to test, and how to provide feedback.

I currently have it synching GApps with Gmail accounts, include Google suggested contacts, sync Google Groups with FF addressbook.

Not seeing groups come across from Gmail to GApps

Also what’s confusing about “FF addressbook” is … where is it. Is there a FF addressbook or is that just a term?

Cannot install addon - FF 3.6.2 claims it is incompatible
