You are welcome. No, the status field is uneditable for me. If someone can tell me, how to get the required privileges, I would be very thankful. However, I am wondering whether the status is valid for a RFE? Seems to me as though this was mistakenly filed as a bug, not as a RFE. If you can, I think you should change the importance/severity from "normal" to "enhancement".

We am unable to implement your suggestions as we do not have the required privileges either.

Attachment: Kopano view contacts as business cards

Kopano is a 100% free and open-source solution which has this feature. Is it possible to view/reuse some of the code to enable this feature to land in the Thunderbird Address Book?

Thank you
