Re: Thunderbird source is not recognized

In trying to complete the configuration of the connection between my Thunderbird instance and BirdieSync (on the same machine), I did not see the green BirdieSync button on the Toolbar of the Mail page, which was needed to finish the connection. The BirdieSync button was actually on the toolbar, but ...

Re: BirdieSync3.2.5.0 & Thunderbird 91 not connecting

Today I was able to resolve this issue. I have been upgrading my installation of Thunderbird over several years. When they came out with the 64-bit version, it got installed on my Windows PC in the Program Files (x86) folder. That seems a little odd, and I found it while troubleshooting this problem ...

I noticed that synchronizations had a count greater than I expected, so I ran the next one with Preview turned on. What I found was many Events from the past, that were getting re-synchronized unexpectedly.` Here is an example from the Preview report: Action______Content__Description ...

Re: Apple iPhone Contact's Birthday can cause Sync Failure

Hi Birdie, Glad you were able to confirm what I was seeing. Even if you set the contact's year of birth to 1604 (and the year disappears), it still causes a sync failure. So I played around with some other birth years and found the following: A birth year of 1605 will show as that year in the iPhone ...

Apple iPhone Contact's Birthday can cause Sync Failure

I have just discovered that if you don't fully specify a contact's birthday (include a birth year) on your iPhone, then it will cause a Sync Failure in the Birthdays calendar. I have been using BirdieSync to align my calendars for many years - between my iPhone and Thunderbird, running on my Windows ...

Method to Save & Restore the Sync Configuration

I just had to re-build my Windows 10 PC from scratch, so I had to re-create the Configuration settings manually. First of all I must tell you how much better the guidance (help comments) are since I did this process when you first released Version 3. But I must admit I am a little lazy when it comes ...
