Common Address Book for Thunderbird?

Hi All, anyone know if there is a way to use a common email address book using Thunderbird with BT servers?

Don't think so. There's some stuff here about importing from Yahoo! but I'm not sure if it applies to BT's version.

How do I mport address book from thunderbird?

my yahoo email was hacked and my address book entries deleted. I have many of these on Thunderbird but do not know how to import directly from Thunderbird. (When I convert the Tbird address to an csv file and then try to import - nothing happens for hours.) Is there a better way - other than a manual typing of all the address entries?
I tried to import the csv file (now an excel file) three different times on two platforms - Windows 7 (64 it) and Windows XP Pro

Open your Gmail account on the webpage, select Contacts in the upper left, click More/Export..., select vCard format, Export, and save the contacts.vcf file.
In TB (or Address Book), Tools/Import...Address Books...vCard file...select the contacts.vcf file. You may have to close and reopen Address Book for the new contacts address book to show its contents.

Calendar common address book - where is it stored in OID ?

Just a query about the common address book, where in the OID is it located ?
cn=CommonAddressBook,cn=Products,cn=oracleContext doesn't contain users address book.
If I do a uniuser -user -ls -ext -n the result shows the users address book formatted as CAB, yet I can not
find it stored in OID.
$ uniuser -user -ls "UID=xxxxxx" -ext -n 1
+ ShowTuesday=TRUE/ShowThursday=TRUE/ABSTATUS=CAB/ALIAS=a1064915/AUTOREFRESH=1/

The ldapsearch tools are producing LDIF format (RFC 2849) which requires that non ascii values and values with some specific characters be Base64 encoded.
XML is out of these formats that start with a special character with regards to LDIF ('<') and for which values must be base64 encoded.
There are many decoders for base64 encoding.
Alternately, you can use an LDAP API (C or Java) and the value will not be encoded.

Address books for another user sharing my computer for now

At this time I am sharing this computer with one other person ..I have set up and named another address book for them.
Is there a way that their email addresses do not get added too mine.. is there a setting where we can set it up so each one has there emails being added to their own addy book.. At the moment there emails are being added too mine... this problem will be ongoing fpr a period of time....
Thank you in advance. :)

''re: At this time I am sharing this computer with one other person .''
Usually, when people share a computer, each user has their own User Account which they logon using a password.
This means that Thunderbird then runs in that User Account and creates a profile in that User Account which holds all the Profile data, emails, passwords, address books etc specifically for that users email address mail accounts.
So then no one can read each others emails nor access other peoples passwords and they can use their own address books.
So if you are sharing a computer and sharing a Profile, then it is advisable that you do not have any stored / remembered passwords, unless that person is eg: spouse and you do not mind them having full access to all your personal stuff.
You have a couple of Options:
'''1.''' Create User Accounts on your computer so that each user has their own User Account, Create a Thunderbird Profile folder and set up mail accounts storing personal emails and address books.
This is the only method offering best security.
'''2. ''' Create another Profile for the other person. then create mail account for that Profile. This will then have it's own folders, address book.
Use Profile Manager to create another Profile.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager
Make sure to uncheck the box 'Don't ask at startup' to force it to ask which Profile to use.
Any user can still access any profile.
'''3. ''' In current situation.
Stop auto saving outgoing email addresses that are not in the address books as this uses only one setting per Profile.
Tools > Options > Composition > Addressing tab
uncheck: 'Automatically add outgoing email addresses to my'
click on OK
Then you would need to use an Addon in order to be able to select a specific address book when you wish to add the email address/contact to an address book. At the moment, if you click on the FROM header email address or right click and select 'Add to address book', this adds to the default address book called 'Personal Address Book'. This you cannot change because you are using the same User account and Profile.
But with the addon 'MorefunctionforAddressBook'
Right click on eg: From header and choose > Save recipients addresses' > as Contacts
This allows you to select the address book you require.
Addon 'MorefunctionforAddressBook':
* https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html
Download to desktop.
In Thunderbird:
Tools > Addons
Clickon on gear wheel icon and select : Install addon from file;
locate file you downloaded and click on Open
You may need to restart Thunderbird.

HT2486 Can multiple 'appleIDs' share a common address book?

I would like to share a common address book between multiple users, so that we can see and update a core set of contacts. Is this possible, as I understand each address book to be assigned to an applieID.

Separate address book for my wife and I

I reently switched to Mac and this is driving me crazy. I would like to keep our computer under one user so we don't have to switch user profiles to access her address book or if I update and address in my book, it doesn't get updated in hers. But, when I go to address e-mails I don't want her huge list of names being auto-suggested and me having to sift through all of her addresses in order to find the people I want to address the email to. The question: Is there a way to keep all of our addresses in one address book (one user profile), but when I am logged into my mail, Mail knows to only look in MY address group for the email addresses I specify, instead of pulling up my wife's rediculous sized (and often unorganized) bunch of addresses. I don't want to accidentally slip up with the arrow keys and add one of her recipients to an outgoing email. Sometimes my wife's friends wouldn't appreciate emails that guys send to each other if you know what I mean...
Thanks for any help...and please tell me there is a way to separate my wifes email address book from mine...please tell me Mac thought of this.
PS I've tried the whole 2 user profiles thing and the idea of seperate address books for updating sake and other reasons, I'd like to try the single profile thing.

I thought Mac would be better with their mail client than this.
But Mail has nothing to do with this at all. Address Book is a completely separate application, and it's that way for good reason; it's not merely a whim.
I can't imagine what Mac is thinking that if a family of 5 uses the family computer, that all 5 people's email addresses clog up the search for the person writing the email at the time.
Each user has a separate Address Book (and other applications like Mail and Safari) to keep that exact scenario from happening, as well as to keep people out of each other's accounts so things don't go missing, private emails aren't being read by overly curious people, and so your account doesn't get screwed up by someone else playing with things they shouldn't be touching.
Are there any third party apps or plugins I can download in order to tell Mail that when I am in my account to only search for the contacts in a certain group that I create?
Sorry, but there's no such things available. It would be impossible for your Mac to become sentient and know what you created versus someone else creating.

Address Book with Thunderbird

Hello:
Is there a way to use Address Book with Thunderbird. I have tried to import my
addresses from Address Book into my Thunderbird address book, but it does not happen?
Thanks

You might try Address Book Exporter 2.1.2:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/14667
Use it to export your Address Book to a text file and then import from the text file using Thunderbird's Tools > Import. Go through each individual record by hitting the Next button and use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to match the data in the Address Book fields to the Record data to import. A bit time consuming, but it can be made to work. Good luck.

Can not Create Address Book for new Supplier

Hi,
I am trying to create a supplier in R12. Under create Address Book for the supplier, I have created the address and when I select the operating unit and click apply, I am getting the following error:
Address and Site Creation - Unable to create address and sites because of the following error when trying to create the site in operating unit [Anirudh Operations]: [ORA-01403: no data found in Package AP_VENDOR_PUB_PKG Procedure Validate_Vendor_Site]. Either resolve this issue and try again or deselect the operating unit with the error and continue. Note: any new address requires at least one site in order to be created.
Oracle Version: 12.0.4 - Vision Database.
Am I doing something wrong here?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Sasibindu.

Looks like the responsibility you are using is pointing to a new operating unit created by some one. But for that operating unit all the fundamental options are not complete (financial, purchasing, payables and so on). Hence you are getting this error.
If they are setup, you can try adding this operating unit into your security group associated to the MO: Security group profile and try.
If not use the Vision Operations responsibility and give it a try.
Thanks

Lotus Notes 5.x Personal Address Book for mailings?

Is it possible to use the Lotus Notes 5.x Personal Address Book for mailings in StarOffice 7?
There is no direct choice for Notes in Extras/Datenquellen.

You will need to check to see how you configured CCM Enterprise parameters. most of the time, the pararemeters need to be set to IP address, not hostname. I find hostnames for the CM servers to be a pain in the rear for "services" "directories" etc.
Unless you want to configure DNS on the IP phones to resolve the hostname of the CM5 server, then then it will also work. But your problem is that your phones configs think that the Directories URL is http://cmhostname/xxx/xx instead of URL http://ipaddresscmserver/xxx/xx

Using Address Book for mailing labels

I know how to use the address book for mailing labels, but when I went to print I had children's names appear on the labels. Is there a way to request souces, but not children. In other words can you select specific information to appear on the labels. Or do you have to go into address book and delete the kids names. Any advice would be great.

There are several 3rd-party applications which will print mailing labels from your address book data and give you greater control of what is printed.
Roll Call Directory and Imprint have both been mentioned.
I don't know how they handle linked cards, so if you try either you might let us know.

Company's Address Book for external contacts

Hi all,
I'm currently deploying a new Exchange 2013 in a company who had a different email system, so far.
One of the achievement would be to have an address book for external names (so, not in AD) shared within the company but managed only by a restrict number of people.
As example, list of vendors contact. The list should be available read only for everyone, but only the IT Infrastructure and few other people in the management should be able to add/remove/change the items.
Whato would be, in your opinion, the best solution to achieve that?
I was thinking using Public Folder. Create a sub-PF of contact objects and restrict permission accordingly. The only issue I can see, so far, is that seems not possible grant permission on a group basis to PF. Am I missing something here? It's the first
time I'm working with PF in several years :)
However, if there's a different solution you may advice, I'm all ears.
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance to everyone.
Alessandro.

I was able to solve this myself.
Security groups has to be enabled on Exchange before being used to assign permission to PFs:
Enable-DistributionGroup -identity <SecurityGroup>
Add-PublicFolderClientPermission -User "<SecurityGroup>" -AccessRights
'<AccessLevel>'
Hope this helps someone.

Can I have a different address book for each mail account?

I have several email accounts that I use with Thunderbird. When I create a new email and begin typing the address, it autocompletes based on my personal address book. I would like to know if I can have a different personal address book associated w/ each account.
For example, I have an account for work and an acount for personal use. Suppose I have two contacts: "Mark Smith" a friend & "Mark Jones" a colleague. If I type "M" in the adress field of my email I would like for only "Mark Smith" to appear if I am composing that email from my personal account and only "Mark Jones" to appear if I am composing that email from my work account.
I am running Thunderbird 31.3.0 on Ubuntu 14.10.

@sfhowes: That sounds just like what I'm looking for. Thanks.

How can I create a new address book in Thunderbird?

I cannot figure out how to create a brand new address in which to place 'contacts'.

I repeatedly followed your above instructions and "Address
book" does NOT appear as a choice. Presently existing address books do appear but not a new address book. Perhaps I have a corrupted file????? I just don't know what to try next, I have already downloaded / installed a new copy of Thunderbird 24.4.0 directly from the Mozilla web site.
Thanks for your efforts, sorry to bother you again. I'm frustrated!
