SyncKolab was written to add kolab functionality to thunderbird. It reads a selected Imap folder and synchronizes it with the local address book and calendar. Version 1.0 had 61 prereleases and 83 nightly releases with over 100 bugs fixed and is known to work nicely with Thunderbird 2 and Lightning 0.8. If you find any bugs please check the synckolab bugzilla on: http://synckolab.mozdev.org/bugs.html What is Kolab/SyncKolab?What it does is, that it loads all your contacts (from a selected address book) as well as events and todos (from the selected calendar), and synchronizes them with a selected imap folder. Where every contact is stored as an vcard and every event,todo as iCalendar. For more information http://www.kolab.org The idea behind this is, that you can now have your contacts+calendar entries stored on the imap server. so you can actually have the same addresses on more than one computer. The kolab project has a groupware server that uses imap to exchange calendar entries and vcards. But you can also setup simple sharing in your office if you have f.e. cyrus by symlinking shared folders. Status/RoadmapThe extension is already pretty mature. There are still a few bugs to streighten out and a few features missing (ie. sync of lists) but for the most part it works really stable. Also the support to sync with other clietns has improved greatly over the last months. It is still a good idea to have a backup ready before working with synckolab - especially if you have large number of contacts/calendar entries and also if you have a complicated setup.
