This is Josh again. Based on the feedback from the review here and others based on it, there is a newer release (beta) that does not require any extra work to sync postal addresses and syncs groups with mail lists. If you already reformatted addresses those will work, too. It directly synchronizes with the postal addresses in Gmail.

And Martin, you did get the ball rolling, thanks. ;)

[...] All platforms with Thunderbird: The gContactSync add-on synchronizes your contacts between Gmail and Thunderbird’s address book. While gContactSync syncs email addresses without a hitch, it is a little fussier about the formatting of the street address fields. If you’re a Thunderbird power user with a large set of Gmail contacts to import and synchronize, it’s definitely worth the inconvenience of tweaking your Gmail contacts. Fortunately there’s a video walk-through available to guide you through the needed tweaks, when you go to the download page at mozdev.org, a link to the flash tutorial is on the right hand side of the screen. gContactSync is a free download and works with Thunderbird. gContactSync [via gHacks] [...]

Zindus too. Working great for me once gotten over the initial sync. If your thunderbird is a fresh install, then there won’t be any issue.

I’m also a zindus fan—and yes, the only problem seems to come from duplicates between the two systems. Once you’re past that initial stage? You’re set.

Caschy Zindus looks pretty nice especially because it seems to sync everything automatically without having to manually change the Gmail contacts.
