Part 1. Sync Address Book to Thunderbird
I have been able to sync address book with iPhone very well. Here is how I do it:
1) Set up a free account at my.funambol.com. This account will be used as a "go between". It's between T-bird and the iPhone.
2) Download the T-bird extention for MyFunabol here
3) In iTunes App Store,download the funambol iPhone app>>
Once everything is set up, you can use the T-bird add on to sync the T-bird address book to funambol, and then use the iPhone app to sync your iPhone to the same funambol account. It works very well. A couple of mapping notes:
T-bird "email" field = iPhone "other" email field
T-bird "additional email" field = iphone "home" email field
