Finally! Thunderbird Addressbook integration!

Thanks to Peter Van der Beken Addressbook integration has arrived in Thunderbird. He has provided/fixed the patch so now it works with the latest trunk. I’ve just build trunk with his patch applied and as you type your recipients address will show you suggestions from your addressbook. Awesome! …all I ever wanted! According to Peter it is not just read-only and not throughly tested yet …so you better backup your data before you give it a try. But I reckon it’s again time to vote for this bug to get it at least committed into trunk! (Yes, yes, yes! :-)

In case someone wants the compiled app - drop me a mail.

Update:
I am still working on a proper build. The current one is a development build that obviously only works on my machine. Will keep you updated.

    I’d drop you a mail, but I don’t have addressbook integration in tbird yet so it’s kinda tricky ;-)

    [...] Thorsten at vafer.org has got the patch working with the latest Thunderbird trunk. He even offers—rashly—to provide compiled copies of Thunderbird with the patch for people who ask. [...]

    This is huge! I would love a copy of the compiled app. Thank you.
  9. Greg Wagoner said, on 13. March 2006 at 8:02

    Please send the compiled app. Thanks!
  10. David Chartier said, on 13. March 2006 at 18:50

    I can’t find your email anywhere so I hope leaving a comment here will qualify, as I would love a copy of Tbird with AB support. Thanks in advance!
  11. Peter said, on 13. March 2006 at 19:48

    Me too, Thanks!
  12. Christian Noack said, on 14. March 2006 at 2:45

    Thank you very much for your work. I’d appreciate having a copy of the binary. Could you please send it to me or post it anywhere else?
    Best regards from Germany, Christian
  13. Spk said, on 14. March 2006 at 5:35

    Yes please - send me the compiled version!
  14. Scott said, on 14. March 2006 at 10:05

    May I have a compiled version? Thanks for all of your work.
  15. Josh said, on 14. March 2006 at 11:49

    Hello! Thanks for your hard work. Many folks have been waiting patiently for a long time. May I also have a compiled version?
  16. Colin Darby said, on 14. March 2006 at 20:13

    Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou! I can now never go back to Mail.app! May I also have a compiled version?
  17. CraHan said, on 15. March 2006 at 2:11

    I followed your instructions from the earlier post, applied the latest patch and got it working. Thanks for the walkthrough!
  18. EvenJo said, on 18. March 2006 at 10:59

    Hi! Could you send me the compiled version??

    Thanks!
  19. Travis Saling said, on 20. March 2006 at 9:57

    Hi there,

    Could you let us know which day’s trunk you used, and your .mozconfig settings? I’ve been trying to build this; but while the patch applies fine, the build fails somewhere in the middle of the process (after about an HOUR, urgh).

    Thanks much.
  20. Travis Saling said, on 20. March 2006 at 13:30

    Figured it out - it builds fine from CVS. One would think that the nightlies would work as well, but I’m probably missing some configuration subtleties that would get that to work.

    This is great!
  21. Kevin Schneider said, on 20. March 2006 at 14:24

    I would like the compiled app too. Will it be universal/Intel/PowerPC ?
  22. Allan Bilsky said, on 22. March 2006 at 1:14

    Thanks for a great hack! I’ll try to build over the weekend, but would love a copy of the compiled app so I can help some non techie friends.
  23. Dmitry Kalashnikov said, on 23. March 2006 at 6:22

    Hello Sir, could I please have a binary copy of it as well?
    Thank you
  24. Tom said, on 23. March 2006 at 6:57

    Hi,

    I also would like to get the compiled app.

    Thanks a lot.
  25. riws said, on 27. March 2006 at 8:48

    Hi

    I would be thankful for the compiled app
  26. Stuart Bowness said, on 28. March 2006 at 5:56

    I too would also like to get a copy of the app! This is such great news and I seriously can’t wait for it’s release… to be free of Mac Mail… FINALLY! FREEEEEEDOM!

    …. I just like the address book too much to use warrant using thunderbird without it integrated.
  27. Michael Hale said, on 28. March 2006 at 7:19

    Hi, would you mind emailing me the compiled build? Thanks.

  28. darco said, on 29. March 2006 at 5:03

    Being lazy, I’d like a copy of the compiled app as well… And having some bandwidth I wouldn’t mind hosting it somewhere or throwing it on a torrent for everyone else to grab.
  29. brenden said, on 30. March 2006 at 9:50

    i’m an amature at all this .. will something be available that i can install this patch? or will i have to know some code? i’d love the final app though!!! YOU ROCK
  30. Brad said, on 30. March 2006 at 12:33

    Please send the compiled app to me. I’m DYING to check this out.
  31. Kyle said, on 7. April 2006 at 11:41

    please send the compiled app my way thanks.
  32. Ernest Koe said, on 10. April 2006 at 9:52

    I would love a copy of the binary! If there were any doubt as to the importance of this feature LOOK here, Moz!
  33. Will Pl said, on 16. April 2006 at 9:47

    Could you send me a compiled build, or point me to where I can download?
    I’d shoot you an email, but where the heck is your email address?

    Integration is key to me. Without out, I just won’t bother.
    So, yes, Mozilla, should pay heed.
  34. Gernot Weber said, on 24. April 2006 at 6:22

    Hi,

    could you please send me a comiled version or send me a link, where I can download it?

    Cheers,

    Gernot

    Hi, I would love to get a compiled version of the THunderbird / OS X patch.

    Thanks,

    would love a copy of the combiled binary - thanks!
  37. Rob Hattersley said, on 26. May 2006 at 19:35

    Can you send this to me or let me know where to get it from? Many thanks.
  38. Simon Q said, on 14. June 2006 at 9:07

    I would love a copy please.
  39. Joe Wheeler said, on 20. June 2006 at 17:08

    I don’t know how people expect to receive this patched compiled binary; the .dmg file for Thunderbird 1.5 is 10.7 megabytes, too large for most e-mail attachments. What is the size of this file? Maybe I’m missing something, but how do you send this file? If it is of a size that can be sent as an e-mail attachment, I’d surely like a copy. If not, do you have an ftp or http location to download it?

    Thanks.

    Hi, Could you send me the compiled app? I’m waiting it for a while ! thanks
  42. Alistair Appleton said, on 4. September 2006 at 18:20

    Hi there…. u would save my life if you could send me the app that does thatthing and syncs address book and TB.

    Hi there! I would love to get a copy of your compilation. Thank you so much. Greets from Germany. Peter
  44. Jamie Fehr said, on 20. September 2006 at 1:53

    Just wanted to say I love your spam filter tool, so simple yet probably effective. I don’t need your compiled app right now, but I would like to add a vote to getting it commited to the trunk. I think I would use thunderbird more if this happened.
  45. Ted said, on 1. November 2006 at 2:36

    Can you send me a compiled copy? thanks!

    can you please send me a compiled copy? Thanks
  47. Simon said, on 4. January 2007 at 15:31

    Hey man, I’ve just spent five hours researching a way to get this address book to work, I am stoked to find this info!
    But, I am no programmer, the patch page at bugzilla means nothing to me, and I wonder then, if like everyone else here, I can ask you to send me a copy of the compiled app?
    And do I need to do anything special to make it run or integrate with Thunderbird?
    Can it be published as an extension via Thunderbird addonns until it gets integrated into a new version?
    Cheers
  48. Bill Stoye said, on 14. April 2007 at 15:18

    Please send compiled app.
    Thank you;

    I’d be grateful if you would send me a compiled version of the app

    I’d like a compiled copy or instructions on how to compile and install the patch. Thanks.
  54. Dan said, on 22. June 2007 at 22:03

    Hi there — I would love a compiled version when you have a moment… cheers!
  55. Benoit Schmitt said, on 26. June 2007 at 17:45

    I have lately switched to thunderbird for its HTML support but could not find a way to use the os X Address book synchronized with thunderbird. If your application is possible to install by a person that is not an expert, I would love to get a copy of the patch ( by the way I am using the thunderbird v.2).
    Thank you
