Sync On Arrival
From Mavaball
This is a temporary homepage for the Thunderbird Extension called "Sync On Arrival". This appears to be public domain 'abandonware', so this homepage gives a brief description of the utility and provides a simple version number update to allow using it in Thunderbird 2.x.
Current Release
The latest release of Sync On Arrival is 1.3 and is available here. However, this version won't install on Thunderbird 2.x.
Hack to make Sync On Arrival work on Thunderbird 2.x
- Download Sync on Arrival 1.3
- Change the .xpi extension to .zip
- Use a standard zip extractor (e.g., WinZip) to unzip the file into a temporary folder.
- Open the file install.rdf with a text editor
- Change maxVersion to 2.*: <em:maxVersion>2.*</em:maxVersion>
- (Optional) Change the version number to 1.4 (or a different number). This just lets you differentiate from 1.3
- Re-zip the contents of the folder, making sure that if you unzip it again, the folder structure is the same.
- Change the extension back to .xpi
- Install it into Thunderbird by selecting Tools->Addons->Extensions->Install..., and browse to the new xpi you created.
- Restart Thunderbird when asked.
- Double-check that Sync On Arrival is in the Addons->Extensions window when you restart. If it's not listed, it may not have installed correctly.
