Trying out Zindus which allows you to synchronise address book entries between Thunderbird (my currently preferred email client), Google and Zimbra (which I’ve never heard of till now). It sounded like a nice idea but has resulted in me facing my address book inaccuracies. This dear thing is pre Outlook 95 or something. It’s been imported and exported so many times it should have a shipping container. Frankly it’s horrible. As I run my eye down the list there are too many names I’ve never heard of, or worse I know them, but can’t remember. Then again people like my own mother have botched up details. Why do people keep moving and changing email addresses and phones numbers? Why can’t Thunderbird generate display names automatically?
After a bit of patching up the address book I gave it a whirl and seems to be working flawlessly so far. Now I just have to see if it makes things more convenient for me in future or not.
