AddressBook Synchronization
Using rsync and abook files across the LAN
- The address books are stored in an old format called a markaby script.
- Old does not mean bad. Though in my personal case there is some statistical evidence to say it does.
- When you first start you will find an addressbook called All Addressbooks and inside of that Personal and Collected.
- abook.mab is the default created 'Personal Address Book'
- history.mab is default created 'Collected Addresses'
- other.mab files are ones you created.
- they will appear as imap1.mab and so on.
- Thanks

Deployment
Sometimes you get stuck on an older version.
Thunderbird is now only downloadable as a tar.bz.2 or something.
Download and extract to a folder. Run from the thunderbird executable.
I recommend you put all the contents in the .thunderibird directory.
You will need to add a .desktop file for this to appear in the applications launcher.
