This is really not it.

The world as I see it. Links to the best on the web. If I had a blog this would be it. But I don't.

Well, I installed Plaxo on my Outlook 2k PC. It was reasonably slick, not too slow considering the amount of info to work with. My weird set up of folders took a couple of seconds to set up, but wasn't difficult. I just set the unwanted ones to 'ignore' in the client, although it had already uploaded them , so I then went the website and deleted them. Now it is set up, it's simple to keep maintained, and very useful. I couldn't get the calander working initally but it seems OK now, and I particularly like the way it can display multiple calanders at once, showing the appointments in different colours.

It's almost good enough to make me start using OE at home. but not quite. Please Plaxo, support Thunderbird!

    akaDruid - You asked, so here you go....

    We just announced the availability of our beta version of our Thunderbird client:

    http://www.plaxo.com/downloads/tbird

    It's written in JavaScript which makes it portable to any platform that supports Thunderbird. It works much like the Outlook client, allowing you to sync your address book with Outlook, Thunderbird, Yahoo!, and soon AOL.

    Oh, and yes, it is open source under the Mozilla Public License.

    It's still beta, but hopefully it was/is worth the wait.

    Cheers, Stacy!

    I updated my blog earlier when I recieved the notice from the forums.

    Interesting to know some more details here. The javascript and MPL info means that hopefully the community will be able to get behind plaxo's interoperability efforts too!

    Great stuff.

    Yup, it's an XPI file which you can unzip and modify as long as you abide by the MPL. It will be exciting to see others build on what we've already built.
