Thunderbird still syncs Gmail contacts even though I have no Gmail account in TB. I imported a Vcard into TB and deleted a couple contacts. Went back into Gmail contacts and had to restore them.

Why does this happen?? James

I found it. It was the 'Address Book'. I checked properties and it had an odd google address so I removed it..

In your addressbook pane, you may still have a CarDAV link to the Gmail addresses.

Where would I find this?? I've looked throughout my Address book and didn't see it.

See attached screenshot. The gmail addressbook will be listed, although name may be different. There are three dots to the right of the name. Click there and select properties.where you can delete it.

Here's mine: If I delete one book how do I know that it won't delete all my gmail contacts??
