There's currently no plan on supporting calendars. Please see [FAQ](https://github.com/zanonmark/Google-4-TbSync/wiki/FAQ-(Frequently-Asked-Questions)) for details.\n\nThe work is partly based on [EteSync4TbSync](https://github.com/etesync/EteSync-4-TbSync), [DAV4TbSync](https://github.com/jobisoft/DAV-4-TbSync), [gContactSync](https://github.com/jdgeenen/gcontactsync) and many advices by [John Bieling](https://github.com/jobisoft) himself.\n\n## Current status and roadmap / Known limitations\n\nWhat already works:\n* Google-to-Thunderbird creation / update / deletion of contacts;\n* Google-to-Thunderbird creation / update / deletion of contact groups;\n* Google-to-Thunderbird creation / update / deletion of contact group members.\n* Thunderbird-to-Google creation / update / deletion of contacts;\n* Thunderbird-to-Google creation / update / deletion of contact groups;\n\nWhat is missing:\n* Thunderbird-to-Google creation / update / deletion of contact group members. Please note that for this to be fixed the undergoing port of TbSync to WebExtension must be completed first: only then this add-on will be partially rewritten and will be able to fully manage contact group memberships.\n\nA full working version could probably be ready by mid 2025.\n\n**Thunderbird 102+ users please note**. Google-4-TbSync 0.4.x runs much slower than 0.3.x (in my tests it performs 7x slower!). This is a known issue, please see [FAQ](https://github.com/zanonmark/Google-4-TbSync/wiki/FAQ-(Frequently-Asked-Questions)) for details. Upgrading to 0.5.x will greatly improve things, especially when updating an addressbook.\n\n## How to use it\n\nYou first need to [install TbSync](https://addons.thunderbird.net/addon/tbsync) and [generate your own Google Cloud Console project credentials](https://github.com/zanonmark/Google-4-TbSync/wiki/How-to-generate-your-own-Google-Cloud-Console-project-credentials). Then do one of the following:\n\n### Download an official release\n\n.xpi packages can be downloaded from [Thunderbird Add-ons](https://addons.thunderbird.net/addon/google-4-tbsync), or through the _Thunderbird_ \u003e _Tools_ \u003e _Add-ons_ menu.\n\n### Test the latest code\n\n1. [Grab the latest .zip package](https://github.com/zanonmark/Google-4-TbSync/archive/refs/heads/main.zip).\n2. Unzip it wherever you want.\n3. Load it as a temporary add-on from _Thunderbird_ \u003e _Tools_ \u003e _Add-ons_ \u003e cog icon \u003e _Debug Add-ons_ \u003e _Load Temporary Add-on_ (pick _manifest.json_ for example).\n4. Test it, preferably using the _Read-only mode_ option (see below).\n\n## Warning\n\n* Even if early reports seem to confirm the add-on is working properly, the project is still in its early development stage: **do regular backups of both your Google and Thunderbird address books!**\n* **You are strongly suggested to use the [_Read-only mode_ option](https://github.com/zanonmark/Google-4-TbSync/wiki/Account-options#read-only-mode)**.\n\n## Additional information\n\nPlease refer to the [wiki section](https://github.com/zanonmark/Google-4-TbSync/wiki) for other useful information, including [FAQ](https://github.com/zanonmark/Google-4-TbSync/wiki/FAQ-(Frequently-Asked-Questions)), guides and user contributions.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fzanonmark%2FGoogle-4-TbSync","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fzanonmark%2FGoogle-4-TbSync","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fzanonmark%2FGoogle-4-TbSync/lists"}
