Thunderbird 78.2.2 sync adressbook gmail
Hello, in the old version it was easy to sync the adressbook of gmail with the addon gcontactsync. This addon is not working for the version 78.2.2. How can I sync the adressbook of gmail acc with thunderbird 78.2.2?

Try this add-on and see if it works with Google contacts:

Hello many thanks. Unfourtunately it is still not working. I am not able to implement the google account with tbsync. I just get the information: can`t connect. I tried everything to adjust tbsync. I tried to create a Cal DAV&CardDAV account also an Exchange Activesync. Nothing is working. I hope thunderbird will have another workarround
I installed TbSync and Provider for CalDAV and CardDAV, both by the same author, in TB 78.2.2. I added a Google account in the TbSync options (under Tools on the Menu Bar), completed the OAuth2 authentication (cookies must be enabled in Options/Privacy & Security), and selected Address Book to synchronize. By syncing the account, a Google (Address Book) address book was created in Address Book with my Google contacts. This worked in a profile that doesn't have a Gmail mail account.
Try that and see if you have a better result.
