How can I keep a TB address book and my Android smartphone contacts (the ones on contacts.google.com, NOT Gmail ones) in sync, so any addition to one will show up on the other too?
(My email clients are of course TB on my Windows 10 desktop, and a downloaded app [NOT the standard Google one] on my Android smartphone. My email server is an ISP's IMAP server [NOT a Google server:-]. On my Android phone I use the regular Google "contacts" program, which correctly synchronizes to https://contacts.google.com. And I'm using the 64-bit version of TB 102.13.0.)
The vast majority of the recipes I can find do not work at all, probably either because they assume Gmail is somehow involved (it's NOT), or because https://contacts.google.com does not offer the expected services (as Gmail does), or because they do their job once and quit, rather than keeping the two lists in sync in perpetuity.
The recipe that seemed to do the best didn't involve either TB or Android at all, but rather involved going to Windows 10 Setup->Accounts->Email and Accounts->Add an account->Google. Unfortunately every time I clicked on the big 'G', it would appear to be doing something for a while (10 seconds?), but then simply quit with no error message and no changes to the list of accounts (i.e. the desired new Google account was _not_ created.)
