Hello Birdy,
Thanks for the help.
I think my issue is partially the one described below ;
If you chose to synchronize your contacts on your iPhone with an Exchange server, then your contact emails are no longer associated with a label on your iPhone. You cannot select a specific label if you create a new contact on your iPhone or edit it. So in this case, emails cannot be synchronized by BirdieSync (emails will remain blank in Thunderbird). In order to be able to choose the label of your emails on your iPhone and synchronize them with BirdieSync, you must open Settings/Mails, Contacts, Calendars/Contacts/Default account" and select "On My iPhone"). Which also means that your new contacts will not be synchronized with your Exchange server.
I say partially because ;
- yes, emails remain blank in Thunderbird
- no, I'm not using exchange server
> Based on this, I have changed "default account" to Icloud - synchronized - no progress (either on email or alternatives email)
> did I do the proper action ??
> In addition I have saved everything in Icloud, but no progress also.....
In parallel Birdie synch on line support proposed the followings ;
Thunderbird contacts have a category field. But this field is not accessible normally in the Graphical User Interface and you need a specific extension to be able to access to this field: MoreFunctionsForAddressBook for instance:
https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html
The contact with a given category will then be synchronized in the matching group on your mobile device.
>> unfortunatly the software seems lot anymore compliant with latest thunderbird version
Anyhow, reading several posts, it seems that if several fields (with different labels) are used on Iphone (my case) to collect email addresses, Thunderbird will take into account none of them. I understand that Kaosmos software should deal with this issue, but unfortunatly not running for me.
SO, do you have other ideas or directions (I imagine that for sure there is a solution).
Thanks again for your help (I hope my issue is clear enough).
regards
