I’ve been using Plaxo for a while now to manage my contacts, and apart from some of the quirks (like repeatedly spamming all your contacts with updates requests) I really like the service. My biggest complaint has been that it doesn’t support Thunderbird which I use at home with my IMAP accounts.
Well that has just changed with the release of Plaxo for Thunderbird (Beta) – first noticed on Mark Jen’s blog. I’ve already tested it and it does work well although not perfectly. The Plaxo toolbar which shows up in Thunderbird after installation is not customisable which means that the icons can’t be downsized to small icons which looks a bit odd with the theme I’m using (see below), but that apart it seems OK for a first release.
