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 just downloaded it and it seems to still have it's own address book. and it's not in the add-ons when I search "address book". If anyone finds out, can you let me know?

Folks, this has been committed. It should be available in Thunderbird now. Not sure which exact version though. (No longer using it myself.)

Perhaps you could post DIY instructions as seems you are getting inundated with requests. Cheers

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.version 2.0.0.9 (20071031)

Thank you
Fabrizio

Hi, please could you send me the compiled version? thank you and good luck

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
Dan

Hi there -- I would love a compiled version when you have a moment... cheers!

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

Cheers

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
aaron

can you please send me a compiled copy? Thanks

Can you send me a compiled copy? thanks!

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.
Peter Schraufstetter

Hi there! I would love to get a copy of your compilation. Thank you so much. Greets from Germany. Peter
Alistair Appleton

Hi, Could you send me the compiled app? I'm waiting it for a while ! thanks
Mark

Hello,
Could you send me a copy of the compiled app? It sounds great!
Joe Wheeler

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.
Simon Q

I would love a copy please.
Rob Hattersley

Can you send this to me or let me know where to get it from? Many thanks.
James B.

would love a copy of the combiled binary - thanks!
Alex Silberman

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

Cheers,

Will Pl

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.
Ernest Koe

I would love a copy of the binary! If there were any doubt as to the importance of this feature LOOK here, Moz!
Kyle

please send the compiled app my way thanks.
Brad

Please send the compiled app to me. I'm DYING to check this out.
brenden

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
darco

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.
Michael Hale

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

Stuart Bowness

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.
riws

Hi

I would be thankful for the compiled app
Tom

Hi,

I also would like to get the compiled app.

Thanks a lot.
Dmitry Kalashnikov

Hello Sir, could I please have a binary copy of it as well?
Thank you
Allan Bilsky

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.
Kevin Schneider

I would like the compiled app too. Will it be universal/Intel/PowerPC ?
Travis Saling

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!
Travis Saling

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.
EvenJo

Hi! Could you send me the compiled version??

CraHan

I followed your instructions from the earlier post, applied the latest patch and got it working. Thanks for the walkthrough!
Colin Darby

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou! I can now never go back to Mail.app! May I also have a compiled version?
Josh

Hello! Thanks for your hard work. Many folks have been waiting patiently for a long time. May I also have a compiled version?
Scott

May I have a compiled version? Thanks for all of your work.
Spk

Yes please - send me the compiled version!
Christian Noack

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
Peter

Me too, Thanks!
David Chartier

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!
Greg Wagoner

Please send the compiled app. Thanks!
Tony Jensen
