It is not perfect, but it works quite well for my purposes. The two-way sync is a bit shaky so I tend to edit my contacts online or on my phone and just pull in the changes in my thunderbird address book every now and again.

Thanks for the support and help the meeting on Wednesday - it was great 
to be accepted into the group as a friend rather than just a newcomer. 
Thanks too for the help. I've set up a new Google account and using 
Zindus have managed to sync my Windows phone into Mint - only took a few 
minutes too. I'm looking to start a web project in Joomla this week so 
look out for my pleas for help! Thanks for the help and  I hope to see 
you all again  in January.

Paul
