I want to share address books between different users on same PC
Hi We have a PC with two different Users but there is one email address shared between them. We have a copy of Thunderbird installed one each User and one User has multiple accounts for privacy reasons. It would be really helpful to have a shared addressbook in common to access addresses from. Is this possible?
Cheers, Marcus

Marcus, Nothing really easy comes to mind, but here are two ideas to consider, depending on how frequently the address book changes: 1) If the shared email address happens to be gmail, then each user can install the gContactSync add-on and let Google have the master copy. This would give each of you frequent synchronizations to the same address book. 2) An easy, but not automatic approach would be for one user to be in charge of changes and periodically (daily, weekly, ...) export the address book to an ldif file. The other user then could import the address book to his/her TB account.
