Comment 8 for bug 849494

Note, that contact sync currently doesn't work with either Thunderbird or Evolution anyway. Both display the same error message here ('There was a problem opening the address book "Ubuntu One" - the message returned was: Cannot open book: Could not create DesktopcouchSession object'.)

I've got an extension ready to upload (thunderbird-couchdb) which handles the initial addressbook creation, but all that it does at the moment is cause thunderbird to display the same error message from eds every time it does something with the addressbook. I'm still not keen on uploading something which is only going to result in people reporting bugs against thunderbird
