Note

Thunderbird is not considered a supported application by the Connect folks so all support is "best effort"
gContactSync is a third part add on and is not always updated consistently.

If gContactSync is not working this week, there are other methods that may work

Via gContactSync

You will need to go to the Thunderbird Menu and scroll to Add-ons

...

Note

UCSB Connect Contacts does not handle Thunderbird Lists (Group sending)

By default, the gContactSync system will auto sync Contacts every 2 hours.  If you wish to change this behavior, you will need to go into Address Book, go under gContactSync, Preferences and change the Synchronize Interval (minutes) from 120 to a lower or higher number.  We recommend no lower than 15 minutes.

You can use the Sync option to sync your contacts right that moment as another option.

Via UCSB LDAP as of Fall 2021
