We use Gmail for our e-mail provider and want to use the addressbook function in Thunderbird. We have 5 users on Macs and one user on Windows and all need to share the same addressbook. However, the only way that seems to be possible to add new contacts is by going into gmail on a web-browser and then using gContactSynch for Thunderbird. Is there no way to add them straight from Thunderbird? We have a shared e-mail account that we set the addressbook up for so everyone can use it. We can add addresses in from thunderbird, but they won't synch across the shared users. Thank you.

Depending on your gContactsSync settings you may have to manually trigger the sync. 1) for uploading a newly created contact in Thunderbird to Google Contacts 2) for the other users to retrieve the new contact from Google Contacts

For any more questions about gContactsSync check their support site. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/gcontactsync/
