Apologies if I've missed this elsewhere on the forums or web. I've just bought a Galaxy S4 Mini and fortunately stumbled upon MyPhoneExplorer to be able to synchronise with Thunderbird.

I have a CSV file all ready to import in to Thunderbird's address book and I have an idea for family / friends / business category for each contact.

I see the Samsung mobile address book has this grouping functionality, and so does MPE.

But I cannot see any place in Thunderbird's address book where MPE synchronises this grouping with the Samsung.

How do I identify/stipulate in the Thunderbird address book which Group the contact will be in once synchronised with the Samsung phone please?

Looks like MPE adds a field to Thunderbird address book called MyPhoneExplorerUUID.

This cross-references to MPE's Phonebook.dat file where the CATEGORIES are stored.

So it looks like I'll never be able to use the Thunderbird address book as a single source of authority.

Adding a contact to Thunderbird will need a subsequent modification in MPE or on the phone to assign the Group. Shame!

Can anyone confirm please???

Thunderbird has no Groups-Functionality and also no Categories Field. Cause of this MyPhoneExplorer will not sync this tag with thunderbird, but it works with other apps like Outlook, Lotus Notes and Tobit David.

The category field is avalaible with the "MoreFunctionsForAdressBook" addon of thunderbird
