I have no decent words for the people who have allowed a reduction of items (e.g. a maximum of two emails) in the local Address Book. But it's happened and there's nothing I can do about it. My goal is to preserve as much information as possible without having to manually check every contact (about 1500) Current situation: - Thunderbird 91.2.1 Address Book - continuously updated, but with loss of some contact fields - Google Contact containing all fields (luckily gContactSync probably stopped working) but out of date (missing some new contacts and changes to existing ones) Target: - Thunderbird with CardBook add-on (vCard 4.0) - Nextloud for sharing contacts across my all devices (Linux including mobile) Any idea how to achieve this and not do unnecessary work?

Díky. Nenapadlo mě, že fóra jsou skutečně rozsekaná podle jazyků = měl jsem to jen za české rozhraní. Dotaz položen. Jakousi představu mám, ale je dost šílená, tak třeba se někdo podělí, jak na to šel. Určitě nejsem jediný, kdo to musí řešit. Dopustit ztrátu uživatelských dat?.. Fakt mazec
