Thunderbird CardBook Books no longer shown as a sync option

Thank you very much and a happy new year!
I have tried it with Thunderbird Addon Version 4.4 and Cardbook 97.7 but could not sync. ("Einträge konnten nicht aus Thunderbird gelesen werden"). In the MPE-options for sync I could not find CardBook but only default user and default addressbook.

I just updated the addon to Vedrsion 4.5, please update: https://www.fjsoft.at/mpe-addin.xpi
There is also a small glitch that MyPhoneExplorer does detect a empty Addressbook as error, so please create a dummy contact in your Cardbook adressbook. Is your problem fixed now?

I've installed the addon to 4.5 and CB to 97.7 and now MPE on my PC does see the TB CB address books and calendars. However, on first sync it wanted to update a load of contacts from the phone. I clicked on a few in MPE and compared the entries on phone and TB and there seemed to be no difference. However, the next sync wanted to download loads of contacts to the phone from TB. Again, there seemed to be no difference except, in both cases, some minor formatting issues between the postal address on phone and in TB.

I then noticed that one contacts postal address in CB had some spurious characters in it - '\n' between lines of the address, but not all lines! I checked and several had this - but not all. Also. one of the contacts has some notes attached to it (a list of opening times) and this shows fine on the phone but has '\n' in the notes in CB at the start of each line.

I see that this is the 'newline' character and thus is in the right place but .... why is it appearing now? Is this an MPE issue or Cardbook issue?

You are right, Cardbook encodes a newline in postal addresses as comma. Its a bug inside Cardbook, i have sent already a message to the author of Cardbook.
