Quote:

Contacts Sidebar supports many locales: en-US, bg-BG, cs-CZ, de-DE, el-GR, es-ES, fr-FR, hu-HU, it-IT, ja-JP, pl-PL, pt-BR, pt-PT, ru-RU, zh-TW.
Many thanks to all. Contacts Sidebar displays all available address books in a sidebar in the 3-pane-window of Thunderbird. It makes all your contacts easy accessible from the main window to quickly write messages, or to edit the properties of a contact card.
As of version 0.6, the Contacts Sidebar also replaces the sidebar in the compose window. The sidebar in Thunderbirds main window and the sidebar in the compose window have the same context menu and share the same features.

is this trure -
not installable

update

well this is really not encouraging - what can i do now

Not available for Thunderbird 17.0.6. Works with Thunderbird 1.5b - 3.0a1

Contacts Sidebar :: Add-ons for Thunderbird does not work with the version 17.0.6
