- | There are three plugins available for Thunderbird application, developed by Inverse (the corporation that supports SOGo). | ||
- | |||
- | Those plugins extend the functionalities of Thunderbird in order to access calendars and address books: | ||
- | |||
- | - Mozilla Lightning (Inverse Edition): this a customization of Mozilla Thunderbird plugin Lightning, part of the Mozilla Calendar project | ||
- | - SOGo Connector: adds support to access address books created with SOGo, or with other CardDAV-compatible external services (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CardDAV) | ||
- | - SOGo Integrator: this extension implements a complete integration of Thunderbird with SOGo, managing also the configuration of the other two SOGo plugins (__ONLY FOR EXPERT USERS__) | ||
- | |||
- | A complete description of those plugins is available at http://www.sogo.nu/english/about/overview.html. | ||
- | |||
- | __ Those plugins are **compatible only with Thunderbird 2.0 and Thunderbird 3.1**__ (but a new version is announced for Thunderbird 10 stable release in the 1Q 2012). | ||
- | |||
- | To install SOGo plugins for Thunderbird you can refer to the official public documentation: http://www.sogo.nu/files/docs/SOGo%20Mozilla%20Thunderbird%20Configuration.pdf. | ||
