Duplicating address book.......
Posted: Mon Sep 14, 2015 11:23 pm
I am using v3beta24. In order to start fresh I backed up my address book contact data, removed the data from Thunderbird (v38.2) then synced my Android phone; so now I have no contacts in either Thunderbird or my phone. I imported my contact data to Thunderbird then synced my phone, making my Thunderbird data read only and my phone write only. I now have the identical contacts in both Thunderbird and my phone.
I then made my Thunder bird and phone address books read/write. However, notwithstanding I make no changes to my contacts in either Thunderbird or my pda, every time I sync it wants to copy and create a completely new set of identical contacts in Thunderbird from my phone every time it syncs, so I get an ever increasing 'circular updating' address book.
My Thunderbird 'personal address book' is the only address book being used and is set to 'main'. Where am I going wrong?
best regards
