Plaxo alternative tool

[NoUserName]

Hi

Now plaxo turned into a a piad product, does there is any other free tool that could make or do the same job or at least enable you to keep address book stored in any place so you can import it later on when you have a fresh windows or access it from another computer?

I understand about the manual way to save and import my address book but I mean to have something do it automatically like plaxo?

Thanks

Thanks for your reply. Please all I am care about is the address book and the synch.

Does there is any way to have something a like like address book like the one I used to use for plaxo with thunderbird and outlook.

Well Thunderbird and Outlook have their own integrated address books. Not sure I understand what you need.

I do see extensions for Thunderbird to sync to Gmail which can then sync to Outlook

BTW Vista had an Address Book application which is now just Windows Contacts in 7. It might be possible to get Thunderbird to sync with these, e.g.

Thanks for reply.

What I am looking for is if I formatted my computer and forgot to have a copy of my address book. Or in case I did added a new contacts and forget to update my address book copy with the updated contacts.

The only thing I like about Plaxo is the copy of the contacts exist on the server and the synchronization so it is done in few seconds.

So does there is any way to have such a thing without paying for free!?

BTW I am using windows XP and 7 dual boot.
