Libre Office shipped with 11.10 still doesn't use Thunderbird address book

[Gordon Burgess-Parker]

When Evolution was shipped as the default email client in Ubuntu then Open/Libre Office was able to use the Evolution address book as an address data source by default. If the User installed Thunderbird then the option to use the Thunderbird address book was ONLY available by uninstalling the version of LO/OO shipped with Ubuntu and installing the version available directly from the OO/LO website.
Now that the default email client that ships with Ubuntu 11.10 has been changed to Thunderbird there is STLL no option to use the Thunderbird Addressbook as an Addressbook source in the Ubuntu-shipped version of LO. This function does not become available by installing Base (which is not installed by default in the Ubuntu-shipped version of LO).
The ONLY solution is STILL to uninstall the shipped version of LO and install the version of LO downloaded from the LO website.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
