The new address book format is great if you are running Thunderbird from a phone, but I always and only use Thunderbird from a PC - for which the new format is obnoxious. There needs to be a method of telling Thunderbird which address book format it should use. Actually, if Thunderbird can figure out on what sort of machine it is running, it could make the choice automatically.

I installed TB 116b. Added 3 gmail accounts and 1 outlook account. The emails sync flawlessly. But the contacts do not. Many of the contacts will show an email address under "City" and the phone number under "State". Names get messed up. If I go into Gmail on the web and add a new contact, TB does not sync it at all.

Contrary, the Windows Mail app, Outlook, eM Client etc. all bring in contacts properly.

Some suggestions have been to use an add-on, but many are not compatible with 115 or 116. Besides, shouldn't basic syncing be done without an add-on needed?
