Finally! Thunderbird Addressbook integration!

換用小銀後，最覺得無奈的，應該是電子郵件的部份。由於我是大量的電子郵件的使用者，每天要處理、閱讀的郵件數量，幾乎以百為單位。

然而 MacOSX 中的 Apple Mail 卻無法讓我滿足。除了寄出 email 時需自行轉碼外，還有許多的問題。逼不得已的情況下，只好換用 Thunderbird。然而，使用 Thunderbird 最大的問題，就是無法享用 Apple AddressBook 中的資料，這讓我得費心處理兩個不同系統間的資料。雖然辛苦，但也無奈。

今天看到 "Finally! Thunderbird Addressbook integration!" 這篇新聞，裡頭提到：

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.
