The extra attributes added by gContactSync (ThirdEmail, FourthEmail, (Google)TalkScreenName, YahooScreenName, MSNScreenName, ICQScreenName, JabberScreenName, OtherAddress, OtherNumber, HomeFaxNumber, and Groups) are now easily viewed and should be indistinguishable from regular attributes in the GUI, but the extra properties will not be copied/moved with the card unless you have the patch for 413260 Read more…
I made a new, simple, extension for changing the default file type for saved e-mail messages after BuBB1eS asked about it in #maildev. You can change the type by going to the Preferences (Tools -> Add-ons -> Options under File Type Selector). You should change it to only one of Read more…
I recently decided to support Thunderbird 2 (specifically 2.0.0.14 and above), but only had basic sync support (only the original attributes were synced) until figuring out a few bugs today. As of now, the extension fully supports Thunderbird 2, 3, and 3 with the patch for Bug 413260 applied. The Read more…

After a little bit of programming last night (early this morning, actually) and this afternoon, I can now sync every attribute of an Address Book card that is visible in the Edit Card Dialog and then some. So, here is the most recent list of attributes synced from Address Book Read more…
I have almost finished adding some new attributes to the address book that can be synced with Google. The attributes will work on cards whether they are in the address book being synced or not. The catch: It requires the current patch to Bug 413260, which is temporarily delayed. The Read more…
Refactoring Since the last update, I have finished refactoring all of my code except for the code that converts contacts from one format to the other to make it more object-oriented. Bug 413260 I have applied the most recent patch in Bug 413260, which, among many other things, removes specific Read more…
