Sharing Thunderbird Address Book

*manfred* · 04-25-2012, 03:41 PM

Hello!

I have serveral personal computers and notebooks accessing my email accounts here at FutureQuest with IMAP. Now I want to share ONE address book with all my client computers. Thunderbird supports LDAP but I don't find any useable solution for my situation. To install a LDAP server locally at my home office is not an option because I only do have a temporary IP-address from my ISP. This means that I would have to buy an account at dyndns.org.

Is there a free solution for that?

Thanks,
Manfred

Manfred,

Two Ideas..

1: Store your profile on a USB drive and set your Thunderbird installs to get their profile from the drive and just move it as you move...

2: Run Thunderbird directly from a portable external drive (as long as all machines are Windows)...

Hello Bob,

Very interesting solutions! The first one could be a good possibility but I think the transfer speed of the USB drive could slow down my Thunderbird.
