CardBook

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Hi Philippe, I have been using and negotiating the ends and outs of CardBook for about a month now. It is quite extensive and somewhat overwhelming IMO. That being said I can just use features that suits my style. However the reason for 2 stars is this; maybe there is something I'm missing, but updating or adding contacts to my regular contact list will not sync to CardBook. I have to make changes manually. Also if I make changes in CardBook I must manually make the changes in the other contact list. Its quite an aggravation and counter productive. I'm maintaining two separate contact lists within the same mail client...Just doesn't work for me and I no longer use CardBook. One other irritation; I can only access CardBook from the tools drop-down. It should be incorporated on the tool bar with its own button. I have not removed it, yet, because of time invested in set-up and learning curve.
Please let me know if there is a work-around or setting I have missed. Thanks...

Up-Date; I finally found the "switch to CardBook tab" on the tool bar all the way on the right...I'll give you 3 stars!

My Thunderbird version is; 52.5.0
Acer laptop V3.571.9646
windows 10 pro
intel 4th Gen i7-3632QM @ 2.20 GHz each core 64 bit
1 TB ssd drive
16 GB of memory

Note; I have tried to update Thunderbird, says I have the latest, no updates available. Seems odd that llucps said on November 28th, doesn't work on his version 58.0b1. I'm not sure what to believe as to version.
