How can I sync my Thunderbird contacts with my Yahoo contacts? I have a paid Yahoo account.

I can find all kinds of software to sync Thunderbird with Google and other email hosts but not with Yahoo. Hopefully I am just missing them somehow.

If you are using Thunderbird on OSX (Apple Mac), you can set up Thunderbird to use the native OSX address book, which already supports syncing contacts with Yahoo.

If you are not on OSX, you can use Plaxo to sync contacts between Yahoo and Gmail, and then use the Thunderbird Gmail contact sync plug-ins that are available. Plaxo seems to do a very nice job of syncing contact between multiple sources.

Thanks, but while those import/export the contacts, they don't sync them. Doing them more than once creates duplicates, etc.
