As I no longer have access to Outlook, I have to look for alternatives for managing mail, agenda's and contacts.

My first guess would be Thunderbird, but I wonder how well this syncs with HTC Sync as I never had any trouble setting it up with Outlook, I would prefer that it stayed that way.

So does anyone have any experience with syncing their Android phone through Thunderbird?

  • Any reason you can't sync to Google and use Thunderbird as an IMAP client?

  • I can, but it's just that I prefer managing all these things on my desktop and Google's contact management sucks. So normally I used Outlook as an email client for all my email addresses and managing everything from one application. But I do have everything syncing with Google off course ;-)

  • Well, with addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/7307 and mozilla.org/projects/calendar you should be able to manage your contacts and calendar in Thunderbird and sync with Google.

I'd recommend, rather, using Thunderbird as an IMAP client with the Google Contacts and Lightning add-ons ( http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/7307 and http://mozilla.org/projects/calendar). You should be able to manage your contacts and calendar in Thunderbird and sync with Google. So then your Thunderbird and phone will each synchronize to and from Google.
